I have used the short assembly program to execute a warm reboot that was posted to this group a while back. It's very nice, however my booting procedure is rather long containing extended memory checks, loading in drivers and some memory resident programs. My question is, is there a way to "unload" memory resident drivers without going thru a complete warm reboot??? Thanx, Rich Filandro Allied Linotype Hauppauge,NY

There is a set of programs that come in an archive called (I believe) TSR.ARC (terminate and stay resident) which contain MARK.COM and RELEASE.COM. These two invaluable little programs allow you to make a mark in memory that can be released to - i.e. in your autoexec.bat you would have MARK ALL load utility set 1 MARK SET1 load utility set 2 MARK SET2 And then to let all of set 2 out of memory you would type RELEASE SET2. If you typed RELEASE SET1 you would let go of both set1 and set2, etc.... If anyone can not find this archive and would like it, I can mail it to you. -Jay Libove -jl42@andrew.cmu.edu -jl42@cmuccvma.bitnet

I later found that MARK crashed my machine in a few conditions. Wow. Of all memory resident programs to crash your machine, who would expect it to be the one that is supposed to take away the evils of memory residence? Anyway, perhaps I don't have the latest version, which, I think, is 2.01. If there is a later one, could you post it please?
