The name (and path) of the swap file is written into the executable, but you
can change it with the CWSPARAM program. By default it will swap until it
fills the disk (or nearly so, I don't know all the details) or until swap is
256M, whichever comes first. You may be able to reduce this with CWSPARAM
also, but you can't increase the 256M limit.

hough things will be ridiculously slow. If
you have a reasonable amount of free disk space, memory is purely a
performance issue.
