I have two programs you might be interested in. MARK and RELEASE.
They're for removing TSRs. You install MARK right before the TSR.
Then you use releas to remove them both from memory. Also you ought to
consider loading NWCACHE high.
Your AUTOEXEC.BAT would look like this:
MARK
LH NWCACHE 1024 512 /LEND=ON /DELAY=OFF
Then when you to run PC-Pine you would first enter RELEASE. Then both
MARK and NWCCHE wouild be removed from memory. Then before you start
Arachne you would execute:
MARK
LH NWCACHE 1024 512 /LEND=ON /DELAY=OFF
You could edit those two lines into ARACHNE.BAT if you wanted to or make
another BAT to run before you start Arachne. You could also start
PC-Pine with a BAT that had RELEASE in one of the first lines.
If you want me to I can ZIP those programs to you.
