[alt.msdos.programmer] Swapping application to disk

s9023@gte.com (Paul Stubler) (02/21/91)

Many MSDOS applications are able to swap themselves to disk (or EMS)
when they enter a DOS shell.

Relying on an article by Nico Mak in Dr. Dobbs (April '89), I was
able to get the application to write its memory blocks to disk.
The article is for a swapper external to the application itself, though.
I want the swapper built in to my application.  Also, I'm trying to do it
in C rather than assembly, as much as possible.  The differences  
result in some subleties which escape me, and my application crashes.

Does anyone know of any  PD code which does this, or know of an article
which discusses swapping from within an application?
