Hi Linda,

 LP> Can a ram disk be used?

 PK> Yes, I use one on the BBS. The driver is called 
 PK> VDISK and is located in the \OS2\BOOT directory.

 LP> Can this be used for the swap file?  Would it ber worth it?

I dont think it can because OS/2 clears out and prepares the Swap file ready
for use BEFORE the VDISK driver would be loaded... Even if it could, it would
be a pointless exercise, the memory used for the VDISK would be better used
for running code.

In my case I have 128Mb RAM in this machine, and with everytihng loaded and
running I rarely use more than about 86Mb, so I dont need a swap file unless I 
run something that uses heaps of memory resource. If you have enough memory
you can disable the swap file so OS/2 retains everything in memory, but if it
runs out of real memory, it can be fatal...

Cheers.........pk.
