I've been trying to use Spawno v2.0 which was posted on c.b.i.p a while ago.
When linked to a program, Spawno allows spawning a dos shell while
swapping the running program to XMS or to disk.  Two questions:

1) There are different object files supplied, one for each memory
   model, except for Hugh.  Naturally, my application (using TC++)
   requires the Hugh model since it has more than 64K of static data.  I
   tried linking with the SPAWNVL.OBJ (for Large), but the linker
   complains about "Group DGROUP exceeds 64K".  Is there any way around
   this?

2) My application also takes advantage of VROOM (overlays).  Does
   anyone know if any incompatibilty problems between Spawno and VROOM?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

        Thanks,
                - Steve -
