Searching for "IBM PC Memory Shift software utility 1984" returned no useful hits for the software described that way early on the article.

As a 1980s developer I wonder if that may have been a reference to Borland's Sidekick launched in 1984.

Or was Memory Shift an actual TSR swapper I simply never encountered?

Brilliant, thanks for that - DECEMBER 1983 tracks, there was an explosion of TSR programs and utilities at that time.
