Sitting, working. Suddenly realized that Dan Nelson wrote:

Khm, swapinfo on my machine does not list the 386spart.par at ALL. I 
added it with the following thru the vntab-file:
	/dev/vn0 /diskc/386spart.par swap
When I tried :
	vnconfig -e -v /dev/vn0 /diskc/386spart.par swap
before, it was telling me 'swapping enabled'. How else can I check the
amount of memory I have (without writing a C-program (-: )? Thanks!
