The Zortech compiler passes do not overlay code or data, since that is
not necessary with a DOS extender, thus there is no need for a swap
device. However, the temporary files are written out to the TMP device,
so it is definitely worthwhile to set the environment variable TMP
to be your ram drive. I also load at boot time the compiler passes up
on the TMP drive.
