subject: C Set++ & Swapfile

GM>It states on the box :
GM>    Swap requirements:
GM>    - C++ developement: minimum 30 MB

GM>Does C Set++ use the system swapfile or does it use it's own
GM>swapfile?  My guess is system, however I have some doubts about
GM>that.  I once got a message, while trying to compile a small
GM>C++ program, that stated the process could not continue because
GM>it could not open some ????????.wrk file in x:\ibmcpp\tmp.
GM>Well \tmp did not exist, once created everything went fine.

GM>So is this 30MB swapfile for C++ located in \tmp ?

  No.  A few small(ish) temporary files are created in the tmp directory. 
I guess that about 512K would be plenty for that directory.  The 30 megs
referrs to system swap.  Anyway I use Cset++ version 2.1 and I've never had
my swapper file grow much above 24 megs.  I run a multi-line BBS and I'm
writing/compiling/testing a TCP/IP program in C++ on thhis machine so I
guess the mythical "typical" installation would need less swapper space. 
Also going from 2.11 to Warp beta 2 didn't make any difference to swapper
usage that I've noticed.
