RDY from MWC also comes with complete source code. You should look at it
sometime.

Anyways, I'd guess you were only trying to use RDY from the GEM interface.
There's no fixed size limit in the RDY program itself, those are just the
limited choices you get from the dialog. I set it up from the command line;
used 2 meg with no trouble at all. In msh, try:
	rdy CMD=MAKE DISK=M SIZE=1500
or something like that...
