I have asked this before and got some useful replies, but...

I am looking for the source (C or ASM) of a version of Turbo C's
spawnv() function (or possibly one of the other spawn..() funtions)
that will allow a program to swap itself out of memory to disk (and
possibly to EMS/XMS memory, but in any case to disk) before executing
another program. It is essential that this function work in the
COMPACT (or above) model! I have a version for the small and medium models,
but I want to use it in my (personal) shell program that must be
compiled in Turbo C in at least the compact model.
I don't know enough low level memory stuff to write one myself :-(

Please help me...
Thanks in advance,
        Erik Tamboer, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
