Has anyone looked over the sources distributed by
Ken Mitchum for the MSDOS version of JOVE?  One of
the problems with this version is that on a floppy
system the swapping to a temporary file on disk will
kill you.

It appears after looking at ``temp.c'' that a provision
has been made for doing in-memory buffering instead,
but only for the VMUNIX version.  Simply taking out the
#ifdef should allow this to be done for MSDOS systems as
well.  Of course, you need lots of memory to do this.
Has anyone tried this?
