This algorithm will be used in a Software Virtual Memory package which will be included in a commercial product, so no copywritten or otherwise inaacessible material, please. I need the algorithm to select a set of of blocks to swap out from a list of blocks with the following restrictions: 1: An entire block must be swapped out at one time; 2: The blocks are variable length; 3: A swapping operation is preferred over a memory move operation. If anyone happens to know an algorithm which fits these specs, please mail or post a copy of the algorithm or the bibliographic data on where you found it.Thanks in advance, orstcs!richardt "I don't want much, just Earth, Proxima Centaui IV, and Vega XV."
