   The /ram disk is a nice thing, but it's in an area of memory where
lots of things would like to use. If programs want that area of memory,
they are under no real obligation to support (or even warn you before
they take it over) it. I haven't really used Shrinkit for the //e
much at all, so I really say that this is indeed the case.
