Does SCO XENIX V/386 operate in a "fully paged, >virtual-memory environment?" My system sure seems to be swapping, not >paging and virtualling :^>~ Assuming I understand the strict definitions (maybe someone should post the strict definitions?) of "fully paged, virtual-memory environment" the answer is yes. You can probably satisfy yourself by looking at vmstat and specifically try "vmstat -s". It looks like this for instance: 20410 page cache hits 1963 page cache misses 0 procs swapped in 0 procs swapped out 1963 filesystem page reads 0 swap area page reads 0 swap area page writes 134 pages reclaimed from free list 22403 pages shared due to copy-on-write fork 2 pages shared due to cache hits 22636 shared pages copied 2868390 page faults 597987 cpu context switches 5980576 (non clock) device interrupts 81483 traps 5928438 system calls Paul Chamberlain Computer Product Engineering, Tandy Corp. {killer | texbell}!cpe!tif
