- -> I believe that there is a minimum size to swapper.dat. I never see
- -> less than 1 meg of swap file.

- -> Some apps go out and grow it on principle, I think. Lotus 123/g 1.0
- -> seems to be one, and DeScribe 3.0 16 bits also likes it. The 32 bit
- -> version of DeScribe 3.0 is a bit better....

- Some one suggested to me in email (sorry, can't remember his name) to
- take the SWAP paramter out of the MEMMAN= statement. Sounds like it
- would work, but I haven't tried it. I figure I'll just set that,
- reboot, _try_ to delete SWAPPER.DAT, and if I can't then either leave it
- alone or boot from a separate OS/2 partition and nuke it from there.
-
- Worst comes to worst, OS/2 will just complain it's running out of
