}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,
I will be releasing SPAWNO v2.0 over the weekend. While it won't include
source, it will work under Turbo C in all memory models except Huge and
include all eight of the spawn...() functions. There will even be a
version that runs under MS C (given some limitations on use of malloc()
and friends).
I will make an announcement once it is available.
