There are a number of programs that will do this.  The next three posts contain
a version that will swap to disk/ems/exp, supports all the memory models of a
few different compilers, is free, and most important, comes with all of it's
source code.

There is also one called (I think) Spawno30.zip that is also supposed to be
good.  I have not actually tried it since it doesn't come with source.

Enjoy,  Michael
