Well for one thing you are in the wrong directory.  It is /usr/sys/conf
directory, and there are two other important files in the /usr/sys directory.

These files exist if you have installed the Xenix Configuration kit.
(A very well kept secret I think, since almost no one I have mentioned it to
knows about it.) (Part number is 700-3033  for the 3.1 version, and I don't
know if it was ever released for the 3.2 version - perhaps "Uh-Clem" might
know).

You can rebuild (re-link the kernel to give you more buffers, use another swap
device (perhaps a swap only drive ??), and other normally configurable things.

With 3.2 many of the changes can be done with just the cfg command,
withough having to have the configuration kit.

I have my kernels set for user programs up to 768k, instead of the default
256k.  (filePro plus also had a utility to patch the kernel because it needed
a minimum of 320k.  I have had some fP programs that seemed to even  need more
memory.  I have one that the token table is just under 27k long).

(I just checked my other machine, there is only /usr/sys/h and /usr/sys/io on
it.  It is running 3.2, this one is 3.1.  {I have to run 3.1 on this system as
I am using the Snapp Mem Swap 2 Meg RamSwap boards, and it only runs with the
3.1 kernel).
