This is of interest to 95 users only.

Insteed of using ramdrive.sys (16 bit) try a Win 95 vdx equivilent.  I have 
been using it for the past 2 days without a hickup.  

Once installed there is a control pannel applet that is used to tell the 
utility what directorys to cache in the "ramdisk". I added the djgpp root 
directory and the directory for my object files.  I recommend that you do not 
cache the source file directory and use a sperate directory for object files, 
just incase you have a crash.

I noticed that on the first re compile that there is hard drive activity (less 
than normal) but on the second none, except when the *.exe was written to disk. 
 The author is askink for $10.00US for his efforts, IMHO well worh it.
