Sort of.  Ram: doesn't have the structure of other Amiga file systems, so
if Dos2Dos is expecting sensible file system responses, and not getting
them, your writes to ram: could be going anywhere in memory, thus the crash.

Rad:, on the other hand, is a true Amiga file system, so try writing to there
if you want to go to memory, and see if that clears up your problem.

Kent, the man from xanth.
