	This isn't a problem. The code to do so was published about 1.5
years ago in a Byte special PC issue. It is pretty trivial to write. You need
to remove the entry from the interrupt table and replace it with the original
entry (which you could have saved at boot time - hint hint- ) and then you 
need to free the memory the TSR used. I wrote this once upon a time but
don't have the source anymore. 
	For better hints, look in the book "The MS-DOS Developers Guide" by
Angermeyer and Jaeger, available at Waldenbooks. I relied on that and the
Byte issue I mentioned earlier.
