I am looking to move a large C application from UNIX to DOS and
would really benefit from some virtual memory capabilities.  I have
been looking around and have encountered the following products:

VMEM                  $ 40
VMEM/C                $140
Heap I/O              $ 40
Heap Expander         $ 65 (uses LIM memory as heap)

All four are object libraries based roughly on the malloc/free model.
They differ primarily on runtime extendibility, swapping algorithms,
and programmer's interface.

Price isn't a problem, but I don't want to waste my time on a product
or idea that will not work or has severe performance problems.

Please respond to me and I'll summarize if there is enough interest.
