Not really. I use a program that is a combined disk cache AND ramdisk. It 
shares the memory dinamically between the cache and the ramdisk. If I 
allocate 5 Megs of XMS for this program I have a virtually 5 Megs 
large ramdisk and a virtually 5 Megs large cache. The rest from my 16 Megs 
can be used by DJGPP.
