 Hi,

 Just to add my $.02 at this interesting subject.

 I own a Mega ST1 with 2 drives (no HD). So it wasn't
 easy to work with MWC (in ram disc for speed reasons).
 Now, I've the whole stuff in a 500k ram disc.

 I 'packiced' all the (other than text) files and all
 the text (ASCII) files thru a filter that removes all
 the (C) comments.

 Unfortunatly, 'packice' doesn't works for all the non
 ASCII files, so be warned and do this ONLY on a copy.

 For exemple .ACC's and uniterm.prg (two that I just
 have in mind) don't like to be 'packiced'.

 I've to have also only small .ACC's.

 I'm now waiting for the Mega STE (with 4 Megs)...

 Regards

 Roger                  hohr@cernvax.cern.ch
