Alan Bland comments on the nuke program bundled with GOMF 2+:

Nuke does do the best it can which sometimes is not good enough.  I've used
Nuke (ver 3.0) in trying to remove a hung VT100 which was dialing and found
the serial device still allocated.  The symptom was VT100 would not start up
until I rebooted because the "read device was not found".  All other programs
I have removed with nuke have been complete to the best of my knowledge.  I do
know that after nuking a program I figure the system is on 'borrowed' time and
at the next convenient opportunity I reboot "just in case".  By the way, except
for mount, copy, list, protect, and resi(wshell), I use ARP 1.1 without
problems.  The first four are WB1.3.
