SWAP [options] command [command-parameters] [> fileid] Brackets indicate optional parameters. Valid SWAP options are: -C Copy redirected output to the console. -D Disk file C:\SWAP.DAT is used instead of expanded memory. -F Forces SWAP to continue even if an interrupt vector points to the Swappee. -Q Quiet operation. Informational messages are not displayed. "Command" is any command that can be issued at the DOS prompt. "command-parameters" are parameters or options for the command. "fielid" is a DOS file or device to which output from the command line can be directed. Example: "SWAP tcc -c myfile.c" SWAP is a program by Nico Mak written in 100% MASM or TASM compatible assembly language. Its function is to swap out a current application to make available more memory for a second application to be loaded. An example would be calling a compiler from an editor. The editor would be swapped out, either to disk or expanded memory, making the memory normally reserved by the editor available to the compiler. COMMAND.COM must be in memory immediately before SWAP is called or the program will not work. Thus, the calling program should spawn a copy of COMMAND.COM to execute the DOS command you request.
