Hi Rich,
You asked Dennis Tonn:

RW>>  A word about swapping: It is not the SIZE of a swapper that matters,

Not necessarily. Some programs (Visualage for C++ for OS/2 is notorious,
especially its visual builder) need a _lot_ of RAM and will cause a
large swap file on most systems.

It will be re-created at the settings in config.sys.

wou
RW>you want to save it??  Why not start next time clean..
The swap file is re-created from scratch at each boot.
