Question:

Will Microsoft's OS/2 languages use virtual memory under OS/2?

Response:

OS/2 will make use of virtual memory if memman=MOVE is set in the
CONFIG.OS2 or CONFIG.SYS file, physical RAM becomes full, and there is
enough free disk space to swap to. OS/2 is generally not dependent on
the nature of the application for using virtual memory, except for
device drivers that may require fixed segments of physical RAM.
