- In a word, no. At least I haven't figured out how to do it yet, nor
- have I heard of anyone who has.

- Why not move the swap file to the user partition? The location of the
- swap file is controlled by the SWAPPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS.
- Ditto for the print spool files -- use the OS/2 System -> System Setup
- -> Spooler object to control their location. That should free up some
- space. After you've modified SWAPPATH, Shutdown and reboot. Then, if
- it still exists, delete the SWAPPER.DAT file on the old partition.
