Partial answer:
DOS applications CAN run faster. A friend wrote a simple program which
displayed a menu by making a system call for every character. Under
DOS you could see the screen draw in about 1/4 second or so.
Under linux/dosemu, it was noticably faster.

1. Did you get swap between MS-WIN and Linux working?
I have C drive of 120MEG. I fomrat it into 108 MEG of C:
logical drive and 12 MEG of logical D: drive under DOS.
I indtalled Linux+X (UMSDOS) and MS-Win 3.1 on the C:
drive and use D: drive as a swap for MS-Win 3.1.
I followed the mini-HowTo trying to make the D: drive
to be the swap for both MS-Win 3.1 and Linux. The
result is: I can run Linux and X. But after I exit
Linux, the DOS is no longer able to recognize the
D: drive. I have to (under DOS using fdisk)
1. remove the 12 MEG partition.
2. add the 12 MEG partion agian and neme it D: again.
3. format it using DOS 'format' command.
This is really boring. Did you face the same problem?
How did you solve it?
A return mail would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.
