Two of the programs that come with that package are called "mark" and "release". You can put a "mark" in memory whenever you want. All TSR's loaded after that mark can be removed by doing a "release". If you have more than one "mark" in memory, "release" will release upto the latest "mark" you put in memory (or upto a specified mark). The package is written by an author with a Finnish sounding name and consists of 2 archives named : "tsrcom29.arc" and "tsrsrc29.arc" (or maybe there are newer versions already. In that case change the 29's to a higher value) and they should be ftp-able from somewhere (simtel is the best shot I think). The other files contained in the package are usefull as well... I'm not connected or related to the author in any way..... -- | Peter Peters | UUCP : wsinpp@lso.win.tue.nl | | Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE) | SURF : heithe5::wsdcpp | | Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science | VHF : PA0PPE | | Disclaimer : I said WHAT ??? | TUE : HG 8.86 tst. 4283 |
