    This file decodes to "RAMCHECK.ZIP", a Commodore-64 utility.  The file 
must be unZIPped before using.  If you want to unZIP it on a C-64, use 
Errol Smith's  "Unzip64" (NOT Bill Lucier's "Unzip64, which doesn't handle
PKZIP version 2 files).  The doc file ("RAMCHECK.DOX") is in true ASCII,
but a PETASCII file reader may be used if you don't mind capitals and
lowercase interchanged.  The executable ("RAMCHECK.BIN") checks all 65534
bytes of  RAM.  The program must be loaded "filename",N,1 (where "N" is the
device  number, usually 8).  After a few seconds, you should see a display
of the number of bad bits for each of the eight data bus lines.  The table
in the doc file may be used to help identify any defective RAM IC's.
