The two you'd be most interested in are MARK and RELEASE, which marks a memory location, and RELEASE, which restores the system state (interrupt vectors and a whole lot of other stuff) to what it was when the system was MARKed. These programs have proved themselves to be really good and removing even some of the most uncooperative TSR's from memory. Hope this is some help. +----------------+-----------------------------------------+ | Andy Silverman | Internet: silver@eniac.seas.upenn.edu | | "Why?" | Compu$erve: 72261,531 | +----------------+-----------------------------------------+
