In about a month, I'll be switching from an IBM PC to a Mac IIx.  My question
is this:  In the PC world, I know of at least one program that lets you use
a hard disk for virtual memory.  I'm curious about how Macs handle virtual 
memory.  Does the OS handle that already, or is there similar program for
Macs??  I know Apple does things differently (namely the PMMU), but I have no
idea how things are handled.  I'd appreciate any info on this subject.  If this
question has an obvious answer I'll discover when I plug in my IIx, then I'd 
appreciate a net mail response anyway.
