SETRAM The SETRAM program allows you to set a RAMDISK and delete it as desired during the operation of the computer. The SETRAM program consists of three files, this DOCUMENTATION file, the SETRAM.EXE execut- able file and the RAM.SYS device driver file. To use the program, you must add the line: DEVICE = RAM.SYS to your CONFIG.SYS file on your "boot" disk. If you do not have a CONFIG.SYS file you must create one with this line. You must also put the file "RAM.SYS" in the boot disk root directory. The SETRAM.EXE file must be in your "PATH" command or you must be in the sub-directory with the SETRAM.EXE file when you set or modify a RAMDISK. This RAMDISK starts out with no memory. To allocate memory for it use: setram (drive) (kbytes) where drive is the drive letter and kbytes is the number of kbytes to allocate. Memory can only be allocated when there is currently no memory allocated to the RAMDISK. For example, if the RAMDISK is drive G, and a 68k RAMDISK is desired then type: setram G 68 To deallocate the memory that was allocated for the RAMDISK, use: setram (drive) where drive is the drive letter. For example, if the ramdisk is drive G setram G This RAMDISK allows up to 32 directory entries in the root direc- tory. To use it, there must be a line in the config.sys file: device=ram.sys and if an initial RAMDISK is desired, the line: setram (drive) (kbytes) can be put in the autoexec.bat file. Don't allocate memory if there is currently in memory a program that will terminate and free up its memory, as the setram memory will be allocated after this program and memory will become segmented. Also, don't run a terminate-and-stay-resident program when memory is allocated for the RAMDISK because when the RAMDISK memory is deallocated memory will be segmented. If memory is deallocated in a .bat file, then memory will be segmented until the .bat file terminates, so don't do anything in that bat file after a deallocation if this segmentation could cause a problem (such as reallocating memory with setram or running a terminate and stay resident program).
