I am looking for a program that does everything that EXECUTE does except WRTIE 
TO THE DISK.

Let me explain.  I have a non-autobooting hard disk.  So I have a 
startup-sequence that does a few things and then EXECUTE dh0:s/ss

To do this EXECUTE writes a copy of ss to t: .  If this is on the boot floppy 
then there is a large delay while the copy is written to its T directory.
If I assign t: to RAM: then i have to load in the ram-handler.  If I assign t: 
to hd0: there is a major problem If there is a validation happening.  (It 
happens every now and again).

I think that this is what caused all validations from then on to hang.

There is no reason for the extra copy in T: as there is no need for 
substitutions in the script.

BTW: could anyone help me with the problem with the endless validation?

Any ideas,
