HL>I adapted Marty del Vecchio's swap procedure for PowerBasic, and
HL>it works fine.
HL>The package (swap) includes a MS-DOS assembly-language routine
HL>that can be called from a PowerBasic 3.1 program. It will swap
HL>most of the current program to extended memory (supplied by an XMS
HL>driver, such as HIMEM.SYS), expanded memory (EMS version 4.0), or
HL>disk, thus freeing up more memory for DOS. It will then execute
HL>another program in its place, and re-load the original program to
HL>its original state. This allows large DOS programs to execute
HL>other programs without the original program taking up DOS memory.
HL>Interested?
Oh, yea, sure!
I looked at PBSWAP, but I'm in need of something simpler to operate.
Tell me more...
