readme. - readme file for swaplib -*-Text-*-
Copyright (C) 1990 by Thorsten Ohl, td12@ddagsi3.bitnet
The is the beta distribution of `swaplib', A library for improved
execution of child processes under MS-DOS.
Please note that swaplib.tex is *not* yet a manual, it's just a collection
of notes for a future manual. I have included it anyway, since it should
give you at least an idea of how to use `swaplib'.
At the moment, this library needs the Microsoft C Compiler Version 6.0
to compile.
If you want to see a demo, just say `make test' (the makefile was designed
for GNU make). I you have the `mapmem' program, you can use
`testswap mapmem' to verify that `swaplib' really swaps.
Setting the environment variable SWAPPING to "xms", "ems", or "disk" allows
you to tell `swaplib' where to swap to. "xms" is the default.
GNU make users take note: the patches for using `swaplib' with make
will soon be released.
Please note that the file _swap_l.asm is only included to encourage porting
to other compilers. It is just the compiler output of swap.c.
Enjoy it
