Would running Imagine PC from a full screen DOS session from within Windows
allow you to use the Windows virtual memory? When I was running Windows I
never had a need for something like that so I cannot say if it will work or
not.
Does anyone else here use XMem on their Amigas? Its a virtual memory program
like GigaMem. I bought it on closeout from Expert Services for $35. Only
I cannot get it (or Gigamem for that matter) to work from within Workbench.
XMem will fail while loading a picture into ADPro 2.5. I run Imagine 3.0
from a custom startup sequence (bypassing Workbench) and Xmem works fine
that way. So I guess it works for what I need it most for ;)
Gigamem would NEVER create the swap file. It would hang the machine during
swap file creation.
