Is it possible to create a RAM Drive programmatically?

I have a utility that zips thousands of memo field data. I am using Dynazip, but it requires it to first write the memo field to a table, then zip it to a zip file, and finally read the zip file to a string to save back to the memo field. The process takes forever. I think if I create a RAM drive for the temporary file it would greatly improve the speed.

Any other suggestion are welcome.

Thanks in advance.
