Only a Temporary Swap File Can Be Set Up on Banyan VINES

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

If you try to set up a swap file on a Banyan Vines network drive from Microsoft Windows 3.1, you will only be able to set up a temporary swap file, and only on network drives where you have full access. Network drives do not support the INT13 calls needed for a permanent swap file.

When you run the 386 Enhanced option from Control Panel, the Virtual Memory option will only show your local hard drive and the network drives to which you have full access.
