Well, I will only list those programs here that have BUILT-IN! ramdisk
support. Why? Simply, because most if not all PD programs can support
a RD, as soon as the user a) has a certain DOS or RD driver or b) has
a special OS inside the computer or c) has any kind of special and
non-standard hardware. Just one example: With the use of QMEG+ OS it
is possible to freeze ZORK (or any other protected / unprotected program)
into the RD, then re-direct the RD as being drive 1 and finally boot
Zork off of the Ramdisk, allthough Zork does not support a RD in any way.
The same funny things can be done to other copy protected programs and
especially to unprotected public domain programs... Now, let me begin:
