There is a set of programs in the public domain called MARK and RELEASE.  The
idea is to set a MARK before Novell and then release that mark later. I have
no idea where to find it, but it should be around somewhere.  Note!!! You
have to be very carefull with stuff like this.  It DOES NOT give the program
that is being released a chance to clean up it's environment.
