<continuation> To NUKE any task, including GOMF2.2, do the following: 1) open a CLI and expand it to full screen (for convenience). 2) type NUKE ! <CR> to get a task listing 3) note the EXACT, case sensitive task name that GOMF2.2 is running under. It will be something like "c:GOMF2.2" or "System/GOMF2.2". 4) Assuming you want to remove "c:GOMF2.2", type in the command: NUKE c:GOMF2.2 <CR> 5) if everything goes according to plan, you should see a sign-off message from GOMF similar to the startup message. Note that there are certain transient task conditions that can cause NUKE not to find a task as you're trying to NUKE it. If, while trying to get rid of GOMF, you don't get the sign-off message, GOMF is still there. Just do the same command again. (Under GOMF3.0, you just double-click the NUKE icon, select GOMF3.0 and then the NUKE gadget.) Note that there are errors that cannot be trapped. (The system lockup that occurs after exiting from DMCS is one of them.) Supposedly, the GOMF button is for those lockup occaisions. I have experienced GURUs that lead to HD reboots, so I guess that there are some things that GOMF3.0 still cannot <continued>
