SUMMARY
=======
Windows allows the creation of a permanent swap file on a disk compressed with
the Digital Research (DR) DOS version 6.0 utility, SuperStor (SSTOR.EXE).
SuperStor is a utility included with the DR DOS 6.0 operating system. However,
if you attempt to load Windows in 386 enhanced mode with a swap file on a
SuperStor drive, a corrupt swap file error results.
To prevent this error, re-create the permanent swap file on a drive that is not
compressed with SuperStor.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The "DR DOS 6.0 User's Guide" states the following in Appendix E:
Also, remember that Windows permanent swap files cannot be stored on a
SuperStor compressed disk. Running the SuperStor utility, SSTOR.EXE, on a
disk and then creating the Windows permanent swap file on the compressed disk
may generate the following message on attempting to load Windows in 386
enhanced mode:
Corrupt Swap File Warning
Your swap file is corrupt. See Chapter 13, "Optimizing Windows," in the
"Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for instructions about re-creating the
file.
Press any key to continue
Microsoft Windows may then come up in enhanced mode after you press any key
(without the use of a swap file) or may not load at all on some systems.
