No, there is at least one possible way around this.  There are several
programs (shareware) that let you remove TSRs from memory.  Generally,
you place a marker in memory then load your driver, run AutoCAD, then
release the memory back to the marker.  You do all this from your
AutoCAD batch file so the driver will only be in memory while you are
actually using AutoCAD.  Look for Take Command on a local bulletin
board, there are others, but that's the one I remember at the moment.

There are probably other ways to do this, but this should work.
