Instant Pascal is the Apple // version of Macintosh Pascal.  
On a standard Apple //c with 5.25" disk, it is very slow and 
very disk intensive.  It is also copy protected.

However, the Zip Chip makes Instant Pascal almost usable!
If I could run if from a RAM disk, it would be quite a good program.

I can break the copy protection (using Copy ][ Plus) and so put Instant
Pascal on my RAM disk.  However I cannot get the program to start from the
RAM disk.  It insists on the Startup disk being in the built-in drive.

Has anybody got Instant Pascal to run from a RAM disk?
