Hello folks,

In the old DOS days we could make virtual drives for tmps e.t.c. Can we do this now and how to do it during runtime (i mean create a file in memory from inside VFP and access the files from within VFP). More specifically I need to decompress a bmp from a cd in order to show it on a form. But as far as I know Fox needs a file to do that, she can not show a bmp which locates in memory (I don't want to use an activex, because I am going to put Fox controls on the bitmap). But this would take long if I decompress in a disk file and then show it. So the most easy solution is to use a memory disk ...

Thanks for any help

Dimitris
