I am afraid that in my effort to shed light, I may have spread confustion.
I am sorry.

Fact:  My ZOO did not bomb in the ramdisk created by something called ETRNL2.

However, Moshe Braner informs me that, yes, he posted an early warm-boot-
surviving ramdisk, but ETRNL2 is something that came along later.
I still suspect Ralph's ramdisk.

The ramdisk program that I use, I have also stored in an ARC file which has
these characteristics:

Name          Length    Stowage    SF   Size now  Date       Time    CRC
============  ========  ========  ====  ========  =========  ======  ====
ETRNL2.PRG        1024  Crunched   24%       784  27 Oct 88   2:15p  c37e
        ====  ========            ====  ========
Total      1      1024             24%       784

The date here does not have to proves only that it has been around since
last October, not that it was written then.
