Yes, Thanks, I have the new one. It doesn't seem to matter how I set the
dpmi/xms/ems settings in dosemu.conf, there is always 0KB available
for DPMI swap space. At the time I ran the example in my original posting
it was set for dpmi 8192, xms 8192, ems 4096. I've since changed it to
16384, 16384, and 4096 and the swap space remains at zero.

I haven't been able to find anything else in the FAQ that discusses
factors that affect swap space (but it's so big I could easily have
missed the info!).

Anybody got any good ideas?
