Write your reply.

assistant: I seem to be having a problem all of a sudden and am looking for some help. I
am using version 1.53 (DOS) of QModemPro, and have been for several years.
Now all of a sudden, when I try to swap out to DOS from within the program,
(Alt-R) or swap into OLX, the Offline Reader (Alt-M), I get an "Unable to
Swap to Disk" message.  It worked fine up until about two weeks ago so I
don't know what is going on.  I can force it work work if I exit the program
(Alt-x) and come back in.
I looked at the Help file and it says that it should work if you have your
Comspec=Command.com in the Autoexec.bat.  I checked and the command is there
first thing so I am not sure what is going on.
Suggestions?
I could go the route of deleting the program from my hard disk and resetting
it up, but that is a long process.  I have to go the whole way back to
version 1.0 and put in all the patches to get back to 1.53, over an hours
worth of work.
I just found another error too.  I tried to enter this message from within
OLX after exiting and coming back in and it did not save it when I left the
MailReader.  I am starting to think I need to just dump what I have on my
disk and reset up the program.  I will hold off though for a few days until I
see if any of you have any suggestions.

I use to get the same thing..... What that is saying is that you don't
have enough hard drive space for the swap files..... You'll need to
make more disk space or make a ram drive that will hold the swap
files..... You'll have to go into the config for QMP and tell it what
the dir is on the ram drive..... To make a dir on a ram drive just add
md X:\qmpswap to the autoexec.bat file and it should work..... You need
to allocate enough ram for the swap files though..... I'm not sure how
big they are..... I hope this helps you.....

assistant: Hunch: The swap drive you've specified doesn't have enough space
a/o you have insufficient lower memory.  Are you swapping to disk
rather than memory because you don't have sufficient EMS or XMS
memory?  Use Mem /c to check memory useage.  Use Chkdsk to check
disk space.
Unless you're changing the location of Command.com to use,
Comspec is normally defined by the Shell statement in your
Config.sys.  Make sure Command.com is located at the Comspec
location reported when running the Set command.
Hunch: You have insufficient lower memory.  Assuming that you're
using Zip are you using the internal Zip or an external one like
Pkzip?  Try launching OLX directly from the OLX command line
rather than through Qmodem via <Alt-M>.
