in response to decvax!utzoo!henry, maybe paging is "logically an extension of main memory" but swapping is not. One generally resorts to swapping when you have 10 pounds of active processes that want to fit into a 2 pound sack (memory). Our primary 11/70 has 1.5 megabyte of main memory, yet with 35 software engineers logged in we do a gross amount of swapping. A solid state swapper would be a boon for us. -berry kercheval
