		SSWAP.COM not finding SPART.PAR at Boot Time

			(Applies to Stacker 3.0)
_____________________________________________________________________________

Background.

   This conflict is caused when the SSWAP finds a Windows permanent swap 
   file (386SPART.PAR) in the root directory of the drive being swapped.  
   SSWAP will then look for the Windows directory  to find the SPART.PAR.  
   If this directory is not found the following error message will appear:

	"SSWAP Warning: Located a Windows permanent swap file on a disk to
	 be swapped, but could not find the Windows file, SPART.PAR,  
	 pointing to it.
	 Press any key to continue..."

Procedure.

   1. Change the order of the swap so that the drive with Windows on it is 
      swapped first.

   2. Insert one of the following /W switches on the swap line reporting the 
      error:

	/W-              -  Do nothing, don't even look for 386SPART.PAR
	/W+dirname    Search dirname and \WIN*.* and PATH
	/W=dirname    Search and update SPART.PAR in directory "dirname"

* Note: The /W- is a fast method of overcoming this dilemma for Stacker users 
which do not have their drive assignments alternating.  It has been found 
that the /W- switch is sometimes the only switch that will remove this error 
message.

Example:

	DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM  D:\STACVOL.DSK  /W-
