  Is 7.0's form of virtual memory much different from the way Connectix does
it in their VM init?  If I had a piece of software I was concerned about, I
think I would at least try it under that first, figuring that if it didn't
work right under that, it probably wouldn't work under 7.0 either, and that
some rewrite was in order.
