       Wow.  this is something I've not tried.  A ram drive
       or a simple swap system?  The problem is it would have
       to be very sophisticated good for a ram drive to work
       well with windows.  Since it handles tons of things behind
       the scenes.  It might interfere and you have to plan for
       a lot of things.  Don't even know if Delphi does this
       sort of thing.  What is the puprose of the ram drive?
       I've not even setup a ram drive in gosh 20 years....
       man...then I used those ancient utils around the boards...
