     You find "virtual memory" description in the "DOS manuals"?! You joke!
:) This applied only to _real_ OS. DOS is practially only library of
function to organize data on disk (although than further from first version
then more DOS nearer to real OS).

     It called win386.swp, same as for Win3.
