The subject line says most of it.  Have there been any published articles
on routines (any language) to swap DOS RAM out to a hard (or RAM) disk to run
another program and then swap it back to where it left off?

In more english-like terms, programs similar to SWITCH, SWITCH IT, DR.SWAP,
etc?  (I note that Austin Code Works features both Hold Everything for $150
and XSPWAN for $70)

I could be wrong, but I think Dr. Dobb's had something like this about
two years ago.  Any responses out there?
