Hmmmm.  Very interesting.  I was thinking about this the other night
when I noticed that I had loaded pop-cal before quicken and not
removed it and still didn't get the message!  Must be something else
that tips windows off about the TSR.  Perhaps it's the keys it uses or
the PIF or the machine type or the windows mode.  Sorry I misled you.
