     DiskQuik seems to be a way to set up the Slot 3 RAM disk for use with DOS
3.3 files. (It requires at least a 128k IIe.)  The Slot 3 RAM disk you get has
238 free Sectors.

     Evidently, the usual way to use DQ is to boot a diskette and run a custom
program which moves files from the diskette to your Slot 3 RAM disk. The
diskette must include certain files from the DQ master diskette. An example
program for moving Beagle util files (named "LOAD BEAGLE UTILITIES") is
included. The program includes REMs which help clarify what's going on.
