                   MAKING ADDITIONAL ROOM FOR SWAPPER.DAT
                  (Applies to Stacker for OS/2 & DOS ver 4)

      BACKGROUND
      
      OS/2's SWAPPER.DAT file is used as virtual memory, and grows
      dynamically as increased demands are placed on system memory. The
      SWAPPER.DAT file must reside on an uncompressed drive. The
      SWAPPER.DAT file may grow to a point where it warns you that you
      are running out of space for the file. If so, you need to grow
      the uncompressed space on your drive in order to accommodate
      SWAPPER.DAT.
      
      SOLUTION
      
       1.  Start your system into DOS. If you have an OS/2-only system,
           you may use Stacker Disk # 1 to start your system. If the
           Stacker drive is not mounted after booting from the Stacker
           Disk, type CONFIG <enter> at the A prompt, answer "yes" to
           the question asked, and restart your system.
       2.  At the DOS prompt type RESIZE drive: <enter>, where drive:
           is the Stacker compressed drive. You may also run this
           command from Stacker Disk # 1.
       3.  When asked, choose "More Uncompressed Space Available."
       4.  You will be presented with a range to make uncompressed.
           Decide how much additional space you need for your swap
           file, and add this to the smallest number in the range.
           Enter the result in the field, then press <enter>.
       5.  At the next screen, choose "Perform the Modifications."
       6.  After RESIZE completes the operation, press <enter> to
           restart the system.
       7.  You do not need to make any changes to the SWAPPER.DAT
           parameters. It will take advantage of the increased space
           automatically.
