- That's the way VM works in System 7. It uses disk space equivalent to
- the total memory size, not just the difference between real memory
- size and virtual memory size. I can't help with the other questions,

- I don't think 7.0.1 changes VM, but the Tuneup package(s) might. At
- any rate, you should have Tuneup 1.1.1 installed for other reasons.
