I need a swapping algorithm.  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,
