- generally avalible you can find drop in spawn replacements that
- swap to disk or memory. one that comes to mind is spawno40.zip
- but there are several. I know as a fact that w-u archive has
- theem as well as simtel 20. for reference w-u archives address
- is 128.252.135.4. the only example of a swap to disk function
- with source I am aware of is in the WWIV BBS but unfortunately
- the source is not shareware (requires registration).
