If I have *only* 768K?  The manual says that Print Shop only requires 512K.
Well, I solved that problem.  I set up the ram disk with only 256K from the
Control Panel.  This way PS only sees 512k total.  Supposedly, I should be
able to set the ram disk to 512K and PS will then see 768K and should run
under P16 from the GS Launcher.

Seems like a lot of trouble to go through to run a program!  Personally, I
think Broderbunds copy protection is what's screwing it all up!  There's no
reason we should have to re-set ram, and cold boot everytime we want to run
Print Shop.  This is BullPucky!  And then, try running other applications
after you've quit PS.  Especially ones that need more memory.  Again, another
ram reset and coldboot. 

I intend to write Broderbund software and voice my displeasure!
Unless the copy they sent me is buggy, I'd like to see every owner of Print
Shop GS send off a letter too.  I've never seen software so damned picky!
