                     Help for !RAMcram
                     =================
  
    This application gives you the power to alter the
  size of the RAMdisc when it has some files in it (not
  normally possible). It is intended to release 'free'
  memory 'trapped' in the RAMdisc. (e.g. If you have 20kB
  of files on a 200kB RAMdisc, then approx 180kB of memory
  is not being used by the RAMdisc, but no other
  applications can use that memory)

    When run (by double-clicking it's icon), !RAMcram will
  bring up a window with 2 buttons ('OK' and 'CANCEL'),
  and a memory size 'strip' similar to those used in the
  desktop 'Task Display' window. At this point, you can
  cancel the operation by clicking on CANCEL, or tell
  RAMcram to go ahead by clicking on the OK button. If you
  wish to change the minimum amount of free memory in the
  RAMdisc, then drag the red bar until you acheive the
  size required (exactly as in the Task Window). For
  example, if you drag the bar to '128K', then RAMcram
  will guarantee at least 128K is free for use in the
  RAMdisc (if enough memory is free for it to do this)
    If there is not enough free memory to cram the
  RAMdisc, !RAMcram will complain. If there is enough
  memory to cram the RAMdisc, but not enough to give the
  free memory requested, the RAMdisc will remain the same
  size.
  
    Unfortunately, due to the way the Operating System
  works, RAMcram must copy every file off the RAMdisc,
  re-size the RAMdisc, and then put all the files back.
  This means that to run, RAMcram must have at least as
  much memory free as the RAMdisc has used up by files.
    RAMcram will tell you if it can't find enough free
  memory to compress the RAMdisc.

   RAMcram also has an upper limit of 255 files. If more
 files than this are on the RAMdisc, RAMcram will abort
 the cram.

  NOTE: I accept NO responsibility for any damage to
  files or loss of files arising from the use of this
  application. ONLY use RAMcram when the files on the
  RAMdisc are copies of files on floppy or hard discs,
  and can therefore be recovered from those discs if a
  problem occurs.
  Note also that directories will lose their time-stamp
  when RAMcrammed (They will be re-timestamped with the
  time and date when they were RAMcrammed), though any
  files in said directories will have correct timestamps.
