Well, I'm glad you are retesting assumptions…. after testing here I discovered the same thing *is* happening to me, I had just not noticed it. Sigh…. I did AVAIL's before and after copying a file to VD0:, and again after deleting the files. The ram is not 'freed' right after, you're correct. But, when you copy something else to VD0:, it doesn't go *lower* either, unless it's required to. Seems like it acts like a balloon that only expands, but never contracts? I tried CleanRamDisk too, with -0- results. Interesting, cause the README with VD0: says that it will free up ram, 'automatically, every so often.' 🙂 Maybe we aren't waiting long enough for it to free ram? I also rebooted into 1.3, and my VD0: was behaving the same way (ie. not freeing memory) there too. Hmmmm…. I would have sworn that it *did* free memory. I'm going to ask Perry over in the ASDG forum about this. Doubt that he'll be in a position to 'fix' anything, since it is currently pretty much unsupported, I think. Still, maybe he can shed some light. Sorry for doubting you in the first place. Maybe I just wanted to to work SOOO bad that I didn't notice it? Rats. –jp–seattle–
