I tried running MYST on my 4MB 486, and it said I didn't have enough
memory.  The MYST trouble shooting guide said to increase my 3MB
windows swap file.  I tried to increase it from 3MB enough to get
the 10MB (real+virtual) that the MYST manual said I needed.  The
problem is that Windows refused to let me increase my swapfile
enough to get 10MB total.  My disk is not fragmented, and has over
100MB free.  The largest swapfile I can get is just under 4MB.
I can specify a larger swapfile in the dialog, but if I do then I
get a warning box that pops up and tells me that anything higher
than the Windows-recommended swap file size will be ignored.  Sure
enough, it allocates the bigger swap file on disk, but it still
only uses the portion of it up to the recommended size.

Ideas anyone?  I'm going to return MYST in a few days if I can't
solve this problem.

Environment: DOS 6.2, Windows 3.1, Original 8-bit Soundblaster,
             Toshiba 3401B, Adaptec SCSI, Maxtor 500MB HD,
             ATI VGA Wonder (1MB), 486-SLC2 66Mhz, 4MB RAM
