**RAM Doubler Update** -- RAM Doubler users may recall our mention
  in TidBITS-271_ of a problem where some RAM Doubler users had
  trouble using CD-ROMs. Connectix has just released a RAM Doubler
  1.5.2 updater, which corrects the problem and enables you to
  update the installed copy of RAM Doubler and your master disk
  (unless your master disk is part of Microsoft Office). Brian Grove
  <grove@connectix.com>, RAM Doubler Product Manager, sent this
  partial list of problems fixed in RAM Doubler 1.5.2:

* Fixes CD-ROM and File Sharing problem where CD-ROM files would
  not appear.
* Certain CD-ROM sound files now play with RAM Doubler installed.
