 * SQZMEM.CMD v1.00b


 * AUTHOR: Andrew McElroy (RIME OS/2 Conference NODE "->MIDAS")
 * PURPOSE: Cause RAM Compression under OS/2 2.x.


 * NOTES:
 * The program will report a size that the swap file grew to when it ends. However, the swap file may actually grow larger after the program reports it's findings. This is normal.
 * Before running this program, you should be sure there is sufficient room for the swap file to grow by approximate 2-6MB.
 * The location of the swapper file MUST be customized for each system in order for this to work. This is done because on some systems, there can be more than one SWAPPER.DAT file due to not deleting the old one after changing CONFIG.SYS to point to a new location.

This program is placed in the public domain. However, if you modify it, I request that you add your name after mine in the author field before distribution.
