Hello Michael and All;

I zipped up the Arachne 1.66 install on my '486 and unzipped it to the
ramdisk on my '386 where I only have 4mb TOTAL ram.

It was a 2.312Mb ramdisk. I had 1.077Mb FREE on the ramdisk when I was done.
And I hadn't removed ANYTHING from the initial install except a few .gifs in
the main directory that take too much time to load on a '386 anyway.
I left XCH.gif and STROBO.gif alone.

How did I squeeze Arachne into 1.3 megs of diskspace ?
I compressed the ramdisk with Stacker while it was empty. <G>

I can probably now delete an additional 200k - (wizards + backgrounds)
and trade it in for more XMS memory.

Speed trials comparing ramdisk vs HD cache on a '386 this week.
