DOSSHELL creates a swap file DOSSWAP.SWP, so all tasks don't need to fit in memory.

DOSSHELL creates a swap file DOSSWAP.SWP, so all tasks don't need to fit in memory.
- da_chicken 3y agoI guess I could be wrong, but I thought that was only for DOSSHELL itself, not for the tasks you were launching. Perhaps it would work but only if the other tasks supported it?
- EgoIncarnate 3y agoMy quick test of running multiple command prompts and running free showed that each one had a full set of memory. It's not multitasking, and I believe it assumes that the tasks are well behaved (not modifying DOS internals), so tasks don't really need to do anything special if they are well behaved.
