Instead of loading system DLLs as they're called, it loads them all and swaps them. Apparently this was one of the tweaks they came up with that speeded up Warp, at the cost of increased swap space. OS/2's swap requirements are becoming more like Unix. On the SCO Unix system I maintain, they recommend a default swapfile equal to twice the amount of RAM you have. Hmm... maybe we should make a TP750-OS/2 sub-mailing list? I feel like I'm cluttering the mailboxes of those not interested in OS/2. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.
