Hello, 

	I have heard of several routines that you place in C code just
before you shell or spawn child processes. I am looking for one that
will work with either MSC version 6.0 or TCC 2.0. I want to add the
code to Dennis Vadura's Dmake which was just posted to comp.sources.misc.

	This make does a great number of things that ndmake and the
make that comes with MSC 6.0 does not do (Transitive clousure, RCS
support, completely portable code that runs on unix systems, etc).

	The problem is that the executable is about 53 Kbytes. This is
just a little too big for use with the MKS toolkit which leaves me
with about 460Kb free on top of the make.exe. Dennis is aware of the
problem and I thought I would ask here, if there is code to swap to
disk, EMS, or better XMS before a spawn or shell?

Thanks in advance.
