		What are SWAP Utilities?

SWAP provides  an  application  independent  method  for  one
PC/MS-DOS application to run  another,  even  if  both  would
normally  not  fit in memory at the same time.  A typical use
is to temporarily swap out dBASE to make room for  your  text
editor,  or  to  swap  out  a text editor so that you can run
memory hungry compilers, linkers, or even  debuggers  without
losing your place in an editing session.

SWAP works   by  copying  conventional  memory  used  by  the
currently running application to  expanded  memory,  extended
memory,  or  to  a  disk  file,  thereby freeing conventional
memory used by the application.  SWAP then runs  the  desired
program before restoring the original environment.

The more  powerful  type  of swapping SWAP uses is called the
"long swap." With this method,  you  can  swap  out  multiple
programs,  resident  programs,  etc., in one fell swoop.  For
example, if  you  like  to  have  a  ram-resident  dictionary
available  when using your word processor, but don't want the
dictionary when  you  use  your  database program.  Using the
SWAP "Mark/long swap" technology, you  can  remove  both  the
word   processor  and  the  dictionary  before  running  your
database -- AND THEN PUT THEM BACK WHEN YOU RETURN!

The amount of extra memory gained by using  SWAP  depends  on
the application(s) being swapped out.  In general, ALL of the
memory used by your program is available for use, minus about
3000 bytes.

SWAP is  compatible  with  most PC/MS-DOS programs.  However,
before relying on it, you should  test  SWAP  with  your  own
configuration  in  case  of  conflicts  with  TSRs  and other
software.

SWAP requires the use of DOS 3.0 or later.
