4 Swap Space
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The term swap space refers to the region of real memory where the
VMM loads virtual memory segments.
Configuration: The VMM allocates the swap space from DOS at
startup. By default, all available DOS memory is used for swap space.
Real memory usage can be restricted using the X setting of the CLIPPER
environment variable. The setting specifies an amount of DOS memory
(in 1K units) which is to be excluded from the VMM. Valid settings are
from 0 to 256. The X setting is provided as a way to reserve DOS
memory for other uses (e.g., allocation by memory-resident software).
In general, its use is undesirable because limiting the swap space
decreases VMM performance.
Example: SET CLIPPER=X:8
