I used no paramaters with 4dos when I started. I would then see that it
picked XMS to swap to. Win started fine and showed me, I believe 605K
available at ~75% resources. Ofcourse, no network at home. I use a Sun
SLC running SunOS 4.1 at work, Love the 12.5 mips!

Subsequent shells would swap to available expanded memory (which I left
for Ventura to use.) Now I have explicitly got 4dos to swap to disk. My
memory now reads 700+K at 70%. Ventura is happy, I don't mind the extra
moment when it hits the disk. 65k is small enough to write that it is
not too bothersome. (to me @ 28ms seek).

My 21 days evaluation for 4dos are not up yet. I expect to register.
