- The integrated environment of BP has an option (/f<n>) which allows to
- create a swapfile of <n>KB size. This is used to extend the virtuell
- memory which is available under DPMI (provided by RTM.EXE).
-
- I was wondering whether it is possible to use this feature for
- applications created with BP. Assuming a huge harddisk it might be
- possible to applications using 16MB on a machine which has only 2MB
- of RAM. After reading most of the manuals and some frustrating tests
- I decided to ask this question to the net:
-
- Is it possible to use a swapfile to extend the memory availible under
- the DPMI provided by Borland?
