This is just a simple little GUI program for creating a ramdisk. Somebody requested that I throw one together, so here it is. I didn't bother making a .pet package or a menu or desktop icon for it. It's just a gzipped script.

1) Click it.
2) Input the size of the ramdisk you want, then press "Okay".
3) It mounts the ramdisk and opens a window inside it, as well as a dialog with an "Unmount" button.

If you don't want the unmount dialog to hang around, click the 'x' on the title bar to close it. If you do this you'll have to manually unmount the ramdisk when you're finished. This is done by either moving up a notch in ROX-Filer and having ROX-Filer umount it (via right-click option), or by using the following command:
