  It's in there.  Right at the beginning of the statement too...

SET PATH=D:\EMX;C:\;C:\OS2;..etc..etc...

  FILES=100 
  BUFFERS=90
  MEMMAN=SWAP,PROTECT,COMMIT
  SWAPPATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM 8192 20480

  I think 20mb Swap File should be more than large enough, don't you?

  On my OS/2 Drive, about 20 meg.  That's basically set aside for my swap file 
to grow if it needs to.  (I've seen the swap file increase to about 40mb
whenever I run WebExplorer (wish they'd fix that memory leak)).  My D: drive,
which was EMX on it, is a FAT drive, and has 96 meg free.  E:, which is where
all my TEMP directories point, and where my BBS is stored, still has over
500mb free.
