(actually, 4.0.1_Export?) One would assume that the poeple at Sun would have bothered to test their own code (but then again, it might have worked with a pre-FCS version of 4.0.) Anyway, no flames please about the utility of a RAM-disk. I know all about them (I have sent some on occasion), but once you have 24M on your machine you begin to wonder if you might speed things up just a little bit by `abusing' some of them!
