SUMMARY

The following information is contained in the Windows with Multimedia Extensions version 1.0 README.TXT file. The Setup program copies this file to the Windows with Multimedia Extensions directory.

This information does not apply to later versions of Windows.

USING THE SWAPFILE UTILITY

Windows 3.0 includes Swapfile, a utility that can dramatically improve Windows' performance on some computers when you are running in 386 enhanced mode. Swapfile turns a portion of hard disk space into additional memory. However, Swapfile cannot be used with all hard disk drives because of the way some drives interact with MS-DOS.

If you want to run Swapfile, see Chapter 4, "Optimizing Your System," in Introducing Windows with Multimedia.
