Yes. The number is not a address, but a size in blocks. The system limit is the 
amount of paging space you have. Make dead sure you also have some XSTORE 
defined -- remember the paging hierarchy is main store -> XSTORE -> disk, and 
you need that high-speed buffer to make paging efficient. 

Are you trying to do paging in a DCSS? If so, then that's a whole 'nother ball 
game (and IMHO, a really specialized solution that isn't uninversally helpful).

No effect at all. 

Others have mentioned SWAPGEN. Get it her: http://download.sinenomine.net. It 
will make your life a lot easier.
