Short: Replacement RAM disk. GPL.
Author: caffer@cs.ucc.ie (Neil Cafferkey)
Uploader: caffer@cs.ucc.ie (Neil Cafferkey)
Version: 1.4
Type: util/sys
Requires: OS3.0+
AmberRAM is a replacement for the AmigaDOS RAM disk. Like the original, it
is non-block-oriented and dynamically sized.
Advantages over the original RAM disk include:
- Long filenames (up to 107 characters).
- Faster.
- Provides accurate information about space utilisation.
- Isn't always 100% full. Free memory is included in disk size.
- More space efficient.
- Respects a file's R and W flags.
- Notification is fully supported.
- Allows deletion of hard-linked, non-empty directories.
- Can be write-protected.
- Supports ACTION_SET_FILE_SIZE correctly.
- Can be dismounted.
Disadvantages include:
- Directories can't be created from Workbench.
- "Disk full" requester is never displayed.
- Record locking is unsupported.
- ExamineAll() is unsupported, but is emulated by dos.library.
This package is released under the GNU General Public Licence.
