	I disagree.  Let the SWAPFILE grow as big as it wants.  I don't want to
set a max of "100M" only to have the system blow up when I don't have 100M on
my system, for example.  Much better to let the SWAPPER.DAT to take up all the
space it needs, until it hits my "warning" point.

	Then again, a better solution would be to make OS/2 and apps (hello,
Lotus?) use installed physical memory more efficiently so as not to NEED
swapping 50M at a time . . .

	Oh, yea.  Learn how to be 18 months behind schedule with a product that
went form "The Next Desktop" to "The Next Server" to "Hey, guys, we were only
kidding."  Learn.  Right.
