The Setup program copies this file to the Windows with Multimedia Extensions directory. This information does not apply to later versions of Windows. USING THE SWAPFILE UTILITY ========================== Windows 3.0 includes Swapfile, a utility that can dramatically improve Windows' performance on some computers when you are running in 386 enhanced mode. Swapfile turns a portion of hard disk space into additional memory. However, Swapfile cannot be used with all hard disk drives because of the way some drives interact with MS-DOS. If you want to run Swapfile, see Chapter 4, "Optimizing Your System," in Introducing Windows with Multimedia.
