Subject: system() without swapping

Hi everyone,

Is there a possibility to prevent go32
from swapping out complete to disk
whenever a system() call is made ?
I have to do system calls very often
during the protected mode program is
running, so that swapping becomes
to time consuming. Perhaps it is
possible to tell go32 to keep some
amount of memory free for system
calls instead of swapping ???
(Im using go32 1.08)


Thanks for any suggestinons
