Try a word search at http://dogpile.com/ for the task switcher, it will also
lead you to some online book sellers. There is a ramdrive.sys in dos
already. The MS-DOS Programmer's Reference books have data on the task
switcher, etc. The reason i wrote a new ramdrive is to explore dos more, and
to get it out of the device driver chain, so i can dynamically resize the
ramdrive or delete the drive under program control,, or add a new ramdrive
under application control. And it does still show up as a regular ramdrive
to everything i have run so far as if it were ramdrive.sys.
