I like the idea of temporary swapfile because my computer does not
have a HUGE hard disk.  So the swap area can be reclaimed when not in
window.  However, WIN3 always create the swapfile (WIN386.SWP)
on the C: drive which is the least-space-available drive.  Is there
any way to force it to another drive ?  I tried to change the swapdisk=
in win.ini and does not work.

Thanks
