- Actually, you can control it's existence by the MEMMAN parameter. If you make
- it NOSWAP, it will only use the real memory in your system. However, if you
- run out of memory, you're in trouble. Since most systems use the swapper (even
- mine with 14Mb), you can run out of room real quick.

- I'm running the 2.1 beta and have found it uses less memory and swapper than
- previous version. This is still a beta, though.
