I am using FluShot Plus 1.7 on my AT-compatible computer at home.  If
this is a reasonable question to ask in this newsletter, I would like
to know how to control how much memory it uses.

When it is started from my AUTOEXEC.BAT, it says that the size of the
protection table is 2048.  I have 14 programs defined with checksums
that it checks, as well as several rules to prevent unauthorized
writes, such as no writes of *.COM files without an interrupt.  If I
try to add a 15th program to the checksum list, FluShot Plus 1.7 HANGS
on startup.  If that happens, I have to reboot the PC from diskette
and take an entry out of FluShot's data file.  Obviously FluShot is
running out of memory and overwriting something.  Is there a way that
I can ask it to use more memory?  (I don't have that many other TSR's
and can spare another 2K.)  Where if anywhere are there specific
limits on what I can and can't do with FluShot?  Thank you.

          Neither my employer nor anyone else paid me to say this.
