SUMMARY
Foxswap.exe is a file that can be used to provide more memory to an MS-DOS command than that provided by the RUN command alone.

MORE INFORMATION
The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Software Library:

"Foxswap.exe" For more information about downloading files from the Microsoft Software Library, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: "Q119591 How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services" FoxSwap moves a portion of the FoxPro application from memory to disk, which provides additional memory for MS-DOS commands to run.

HOW TO USE FOXSWAP
To install FoxSwap, copy the Foxswap.com file to the directory in which FoxBASE+ or FoxPro is installed. The directory containing FoxSwap should also be listed in the PATH environment variable in the Autoexec.bat file.

Syntax
To use FoxSwap with FoxBASE+, use the following syntax: "run foxswap [/n[K]] |undefined" To use FoxSwap with FoxPro, use the following syntax: "! [/n[K]] |undefined" To specify the amount of memory FoxSwap should make available, use the /n parameter. To free as much memory as possible, specify the word FOXSWAP (when running FoxSwap with FoxBASE+) or /0 (when running FoxSwap with FoxPro). The letter K following the /n parameter is optional; it stands for kilobytes (K). The exclamation point (!) is an abbreviation for the RUN command.

FoxBASE+ example:   run foxswap edit FoxPro examples:   run /0 edit ! /0 edit ! /128 edit Additional query words: FoxDos plus softlib foxswap.exe
