Thanks Ed,

But how do you arrive at 1.5 * RAM size ?

All the advice that I've recieved recently has recommended a permanent
swap file size of between 30 and 50Mb and if I could reduce it to 24Mb
(I have  16Mb of RAM) this would help considerably......disk space is
now at a premium again (sigh)

Thanks


Jon
