RAMdrive
~~~~~~~~

This program may be used to create RAM-disks on Sprinter computer.
RAM-disk is formatted as FAT12 (like MS-DOS floppy). One RAM-disk
may occupy whole Sprinter memory. Minimal size of RAM-disk is 64Kb
(and 47Kb available only). Number of records in root directory is
512. Number of RAM-disks is limited by free memory only. To create
RAM-disk run program with one argument - size of RAM-disk in kilobytes:

ramdrv 1440

For DOS of the version 1.61 (and is higher), the program leaves back
in DOS and to the created RAM-disk access at once is open.
For DOS of the version 1.60 (and is lower), the program will wait 4
seconds and reboot the computer. If you press any key during that 4
seconds, program quit to DOS and user should be reboot computer manu-
ally ("Reset" or "Ctrl+Alt+Del").

During working rogram write table with information about created disk:

Disk size: 1440kB full size of disk
Available space: 1418kB available size of disk
Directory entries: 512 number of records in root
Sector size: 512 bytes number of bytes per sector
Allocation unit: 1 sector number of sectors per cluster

The program uses envirenment variable "LASTDRV". Format of variable
is "LASTDRV=X", where "X" - letter of last drive in system.
