Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!  Incomplete (and hence, wrong) answer.

Transient swapping in 4DOS works if you have a hard disk, or EMS or XMS
or a RAM disk.  Read the 4DOS.DOC file (or your manual if you registered
your copy), preferably before posting either questions or answers of
this nature.

And please, folks, if you're going to answer a question, either post the
correct and complete answer or at least note that it is or may be
neither.  Thanks.

No flames intended, just a (well, maybe not so) gentle erratum.
