Can someone, who know how to work with RAM disk do that ?
I mean bootable disk, Ram disk driver and self extracting archive
at one 1.44 floppy.
And call it , lets see...... .....pocketArachne ?
Everybody want to have it, but nobody want to do it.
( I'm bad programmer (only Perl, and thats enough),
so don't rely on me). I can fit it only on Zip100 ;)

Using 1.44 floppies, you might have one DOS diskette and another diskette
with Arachne zipped. COMMAND.COM could be copied to a RAMDRIVE. But with
Zip100, you have much more space. If the Zip100 is bootable (ATAPI?), you
could put DOS & Arachne on a Zip100 with plenty room to spare. You might still
want to use a RAMDRIVE because of Arachne's intense disk activity ("Give the
hard drive a hard drive").
Under the same nominal subject, because of a bug in DOS,
copy /b 1.ps prn is better than
type 1.ps > prn
type 1.ps > prn will stop if there is an ASCII 26 character in 1.ps and print
the incomplete file. TYPE is for straight-text files. COPY with /b works on
any kind of file, including plain text. I can't see why the developers of DOS
ever thought a user would want a file destined for the printer to be truncated
at an ASCII 26.
