Ärende: "Rammer"
================
One could do a similar thing with Linux programs, but the point
is it needs to be done BEFORE it's needed, and I've done it!

I have a few diskettes called "Rammer" like so:
Here's the directory:

 Volume in drive A is RAMMER     
 Volume Serial Number is 2E24-07E1
 Directory of A:\

Footnotes:
So I'm getting 18% more stuff on diskette than I could otherwise.
And I still have 40KB I could expand it to, and maybe I could get
by with only one of the CD drivers.

Those zero length files are artifacts of isram.bat, and hence
RAMMER diskettes won't run write-protected.  So I'm careful
when I boot from them.

UNZIP.BAT runs much faster copying the zip file first, and
unzipping from the ramdrive.
