Description: Memphis is a replacement RAM-based filing system (RAM disc) that uses the System Sprite area rather than the RAM disc area. It provides: * A dynamically resizeable RAMdisc * Up to 30 character file names * A new storage scheme that can use a slave filing system instead of the Sprite area. This is useful if you need to have long file names or many files in a directory. The files are also compressed using Acorn's Squash module built into the RISC OS 3 ROM.
