VD0: dynamically uses the memory; the more you put into it, the more it uses, remove files and it frees that memory. RAD: grabs an amount equal to the size you make it, regardless of the contents. This makes VD0: preferable for those that are short of memory. RAD: of course allows you to boot from it. The really decadent Amiga owners use both. -larry -- The Mac?
