I add that it is based on the famous ETRNL2 By Mr. Franco, but that it has been completely rewritten, debugged, and improved. I had to move up to it when I got my Mega 4 ST. My only comment is that you have to deconfigure it if you do *not* want a RAM disk! I preferred good ol' ETRNL2's possibility to disable with ALT-something-or-other. Sometimes one just needs all the memory that one can get, and only for a short while. Having to use EKILL.PRG is, to me, cumbersome. Volker A. Brandt, are you listening? Otherwise, I just love it! Use EDISK 2.1!! -- Ralph P.
