- My config.sys sets swapper.dat to 2 Meg. This doesn't grow,
- but I do get "Out
- of Memory" Errors when I try to open, say, a third Win-OS2
- app seamlessly
- (same session). I don't get this with the old level kernel,
- which does grow.
- IBM's UK Help line have acknowledged this as a bug to me, and
- say a fix
- may not appear before the new version of OS/2 arrives.
- However I'll keep
- watching software.watson.ibm.com just in case.
-
- By the way I'm running OS/2 on a PS/2 56SLC (with 12 Meg RAM)
- - so I don't
- think I've got incompatibility problems :-)
