It is your Swap file !!
Root\filename.extension
(C:\Win386.swp)

RAM-Disc is (used to be) an add-in card (in slot on Motherboard) and
primarely used for RAM extension. A card with chip(s) on it, a virtual disk,
fast accessable (and also like your video-card is an add-in card too).

Present Mem chips(RAM-chips), for speed and capacity, have outdated
these cards. In old DOS days, 4kB used to be the smallest first mem capacity
available, and 1 Mb was unbelievable giganticly large, however soon became
to less/to short for the newer released applications and an extension to mem was
made by adding a (virtual) disc, eg the on-card's chip).

Guy's indicator problems (in general) could be due to:
-their complexness (formulation - and calculation wise)
-the software application's file accessability (exe, dat, dll, ini etc.)
-the software system's operating environment + accessability (installed OS + disk access system)
-the PC hardware's accesability (installed Disk, Burst, RAM, Processor, Motherboard)
-the read/write process (between Disk, RAM, Processor, Compilers for translations etc.
  and also v.v.) when running in the application(MetaStock) program

If someone knows where the scratch area is located, I may have a
solution (former TallTree systems Jet/RAMDISK user - I guess that
dates me <g>).

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP  ?
