Revision Date Comments
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.00 4/1/90 Initial revision. Supported swapping to expanded memory
or disk. Supported Small and Medium memory models.
2.00 9/6/90 Added support for swapping to XMS extended memory.
Added support for Compact, Large, and Huge memory
models. Made .ASM source file configurable.
2.01 9/7/90 It's always something! SWAPTEST.LNK was missing from
the release .ZIP file. SWAP.DOC did not have page
numbers in the table of contents.
2.10 9/11/90 Added code to parse the command line into the default
FCBs (thanks to David E. Jenkins). Changed /D[model]
definitions to allow assembly with Turbo Assembler.
2.11 9/28/90 Fixed problem in SWAP.ASM (variable called cmd_pad).
This prevented execution of COMMAND.COM with arguments,
as the pad byte (0) is interpreted by COMMAND.COM as the
end of the command line. Ooops! Also, added
information about using Microsoft C 6.00.
3.00 10/4/90 Added full support for Microsoft C 6.00 large code
memory models (fragmentation support). Added complete
information about compiling, assembling, and linking in
all supported compiler versions and memory models.
Fixed error in disk restore routine--it wasn't deleting
the swap file after it was done. Swap() no longer
supports EMS version 3.2--EMS 4.0 and above is required.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
