This is a repost.  Apologies if you are seeing it again.

I have two questions concerning the NeXT machine (which I happen to
like very much).

1. Sometime last week, my swapfile grew to 111 Mbytes.  How can I
QUICKLY reduce this to the low watermark of 20 Mb (other than
rebooting)?

2. Now that MIT has finished a port of X to the NeXT, how do we go
about getting it.

Thanks.
