386spart.par

[kress@ctpsun.ciw.edu (Victor Kress)]

I was doing my fall disk cleaning, and I've come across a huge file which I
can't identify.

I'm running dual-boot Warp or Dos on a 540 meg disk partitioned into a 260
meg FAT partition and a 260 meg HPFS partition.  On the FAT partition,
there are the two dos hidden files, the two warp extended attribute hidden
files, the hidden thinkpad hibernation file, and another hidden mystery
file called 386SPART.PAR.  This file is 29 megs!  Does anybody know what
this file does?  What will die if this file is corrupted?  My guess is that
it is a swap file belonging to either Warp or windows.  If it is a warp
file, I assume that it will run faster and safer on the HPFS partition.

Extra credit question:
I can run windows under warp, but not under dos boot.  This problem dates
to my last video driver update dabacle, where I tried to install 755wd101
video drivers on my 750 mono.  I went back to the older drivers, but I
can't boot windows from dos anymore.  Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
