I like the idea of temporary swapfile because my computer does not have a HUGE hard disk. So the swap area can be reclaimed when not in window. However, WIN3 always create the swapfile (WIN386.SWP) on the C: drive which is the least-space-available drive. Is there any way to force it to another drive ? I tried to change the swapdisk= in win.ini and does not work. Thanks Earl Tsai estsai@cs.uiuc.edu

Try reading the Manual on page 528. It explains what you want to know.
