are you suggesting virtual memory?  Hmmm that could be interesting comming
from a company that can't get memory allocation correct even given a 
couple of years.  They also can't seem to figure out how to remember
what directories are in memory - boy directories are easy compared
to page swaping.  Also be cute trying to have virtual memory
accross multiple partitions, remember that bothersome 32 Meg limit
on your partitions, or is it 16 meg I forget.  Oh and let's not forget
the speed penalty.  No I am not saying that VM systems are by nature
slow but Atari has yet to figure out a way to read a disk drive
at a resonable speed.
