The author is indeed on the net (Steve Calwas .. are you still out there).

One thing to try, which I've noticed on my 386sx (MDDOS 4.01), is to load
ANARKEY *before* PC-CACHE or SUPERPCK (disk caching programs).  For some 
reason things don't work right when ANARKEY is loaded after these two.

Also, I've noticed that inside desqview, sometimes ANARKEY exits without
explanation when opening 4DOS windows.  This is random, and occurs only about
once in every 30 windows or so (cumulative over time, not all at once!).
