I need a DOS routine which can remove memory resident programs short of CTRL-ALT-DEL. I am trying to run novell over ethernet and when I execute telnet, I trash the novell ethernet device driver. If I could kill it off before running the telnet, I could reinstall it cleanly when telnet exits. All I need is Kill -9 for DOS! (Can you sense the frustration?, Im so close, but the novell device driver is the last holdup from the system we really want.) Any help or ideas would be welcomed. Thanks, Tom Dixon uunet!pdn!dixon

Hi, I think what you are looking for are the TSR utilities Mark and Release , which can be found in tsrcom27.arc (possibly 28 or 29 by now) on simtel 20. have fun ....Nigel

Does what you want, I think. Ask me for details... ...Terry MicroCosmic Computer Services.

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.

I just looked at the documentation for the new replacements for MARK adn RELEASE called WorkTSRS. This new set of utilities permit you to put a mark prior to a tsr and then when you need to release that tsr later WITHOUT LOOSING THE INTERUPT CHAIN OR MAKING A WHOLE IN MEMORY. I have only done rudimentary tests and it seems to work O.K. but do be careful. These utilities are copyrighted but are available for use and distribution. They came across the net a short time ago so they should be in a local archive somewhere if anyone needs them. I have always found them to be nice and reliable.
