Introduction
Microsoft Windows version 3.00 Swapfile does not work on Zenith computers. For this reason, Zenith has manufactured its own version of the Swapfile program. The enclosed disk contains the Zenith version of SWAPFILE.EXE. The instructions below describe the steps to install the Zenith version of Swapfile for Windows version 3.00.

Installation
 Exit Windows.  The SWAPFILE.EXE file on the enclosed Zenith Swapfile Disk is compressed in Windows 3.00 compression format. Decompress SWAPFILE.EXE and copy it to the appropriate directory by doing the following: a. Copy EXPAND.EXE from Microsoft Windows Disk #2 to your hard drive (this utility expands compressed files to a usable     format). To do this, insert Windows Disk #2 in Drive A and from the DOS prompt, type the following and press ENTER: copy a:expand.exe c:\

b. Remove Disk #2 and insert the enclosed Zenith Swapfile Disk in     Drive A (or any floppy-disk drive).

c. Locate the directory where SWAPFILE.EXE currently resides on     your hard disk (usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). Then (assuming the     enclosed disk is in Drive A), type the following and press ENTER

expand a:swapfile.exe location\swapfile.exe

where location is the drive and directory where the Microsoft version of SWAPFILE.EXE resides -- for example, type the following:

expand a:swapfile.exe c:\windows\system\swapfile.exe.

The compressed file is expanded as it is copied to your hard- disk drive.  Follow the instructions on Page 522 of the &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide&quot; to set up a permanent Windows swap file.
