Subject: Inhibit system() swapout??

    I need to inhibit GO32 from swapping out my program when I do a system()
call. I need to have the protected mode program still in memory to handle
both software (from the program I am running using system()) and hardware
(from the device my program is controlling) interrupts. I would be equally
happy if there were a way to make a protected mode TSR (lotsa luck)....

The protected mode program is a device driver for a memory mapped device
located in the 4th gig of memory space with a 4 meg address window, and the
real mode software is legacy code that would be very difficult to convert to
protected mode due to large quantities of graphics routines....

Any Ideas???
