Build Washboard Abs in three weeks. “I was a 98 pound weakling until I installed SoftRAM 95.” RAM compression only works when there’s a defined API for accessing data RAM, as there is a defined API for accessing disks, and there is no such thing in Win95. At least, there’s no way to regulate how the program accesses any RAM it allocates. Save yourself the hundreds of dollars of invested time and buy more RAM instead. These programs were great for Win 3.1, where they fixed inadequacies in the operating system. Win95 has considerably more horsepower by itself, but it thrives on a 16 MB system for running the big mainstream apps. MS Works 4.0, however, will run on an 8 MB system effortlessly. Try the techniques in Swap file & caching theory to speed up the system and run more programs. If you really need the power to run 100 programs at once, buy a big computer and install Windows NT, which will run all the Win95 apps anyway. Then you’ll have no resource limitations, no swap f
