Many MSDOS applications are able to swap themselves to disk (or EMS) when they enter a DOS shell. Relying on an article by Nico Mak in Dr. Dobbs (April '89), I was able to get the application to write its memory blocks to disk. The article is for a swapper external to the application itself, though. I want the swapper built in to my application. Also, I'm trying to do it in C rather than assembly, as much as possible. The differences result in some subleties which escape me, and my application crashes. Does anyone know of any PD code which does this, or know of an article which discusses swapping from within an application? ---- Paul Steckler steck@corwin.ccs.northeastern.edu s9023@bunny.gte.com
