 DC> I am currently re-writing a BBS door game that was originally coded
 DC> circa 1987. I am looking into adding IGM's to this old game but
 DC> have run into a small code block. I have completed writing the unit
 DC> to handle all i/o when the Igm is running, BUT I want to swap the
 DC> main calling program out of memory to the hard drive when the Igm
 DC> is run.

ok... that should be easy enough...

 DC> I have got it working using the 'Swapvectors' and the 'Exec'
 DC> commands but as the main program is slowly growing in size and the
 DC> called Igm's can also be rather large as well, I need to Swap To
 DC> hard disk and back again. 

my first question, since i've never played with IGMs, is are they simply 
another EXE??

 DC> Swag has been no help at all. Can anyone assist with a unit that
 DC> will do what I want.

if the answer to the above is yes, then the name Ralf Brown should recall some 
memories for you... then i'll also say that i have a copy of his 1991 SPAWNO 
package that i have used (with TP6) in the past with great success...

google and ye shall find :)
