Hello Paul!

On 28 Apr 94, you said to All:

PE> I have a hidden file in the root directory of my C drive called
PE> 386SPART.PAR. It's not an insignificant amount of hard disk space to
PE> be using up!  Can I delete it (I can't remember seeing it there
PE> before).  BFN.

This is your swap file for windows. Unlike OS/2's dynamic resizing of its
swap file, Windoze makes a static file as big as you asked for in the
Advanced Settings part of the 386Enhanced control panel.

Unless you want to run no swapfile, don't delete it. If you do want rid of
it, set it to None in the control panel.

Sea Ewes are round!
Geoff.
