There is an alternative way around such annoying messages that come
to the screen as the last deed of an exiting nagware prorgram.  That
is saving the original screen at call time, and restoring it after
the exit.  Using a batch file this is very easy.  The screen pushing
/ popping facilities can be found in /pc/ts/tsutld18.arc.  But for
the record, this is not meant for beating shareware rules, but to
get to make the legitimate testing in peace without the nags.
