  generally avalible you can find drop in spawn replacements that
swap to disk or memory.  one that comes to mind is spawno40.zip
but there are several.  I know as a fact that w-u archive has
theem as well as simtel 20.  for reference w-u archives address
is 128.252.135.4.  the only example of a swap to disk function
with source I am aware of is in the WWIV BBS but unfortunately
the source is not shareware (requires registration).
