The problem is, you always see the welcome message of MemMan. You can't switch it off. That should be no problem. How about using a disk editor to patch MEMMAN.COM ? Just change the first character of the welcome message to '$' if it uses the BDOS to print or to zero if it uses asciiz strings.

[MemMan] That's one solution. You must admit it's not a nice one, but it IS one. IMHO it's better to rewrite the MemMan init-routine to NOT let it go to Basic to initialize the rest... Hm, then why not rewrite the entire MemMan (Yeah! MemMan2000! ;-)). The specs are lying around somewhere
