    No. Only some earlier win32 apps such a PhotoShop 3.0. OS2 API and Win32
API uses incompatible methods of memory allocation.

    No. I knew 2 disk compression programs for OS/2. Good old Stacker. But it
work only on FAT. And ZipStream File System. This works on any disk.
 LP> Can I use this drive for the Warp swap file?
    No of course.
 LP>   Can a ram disk be used?
    Yes. You can use VDISK from distribution as static RAM disk or RAMFS
(freeware) as dynamically allocated RAM disk or SVDISK(shareware or cracked)
as
dynamically allocated RAM disk and virtual floppy drive (very useable feature
for some stupid distributives). I think there are more than three RAM drive
drivers are present in universe.
    Ooops? Can be used for what? For swap? No. Maybe if you install a lot of
memory (128 or more megz)

Bye!
