Rich, you can use one of the outboard TSR utilities like Popdrop or Mark/Release to do it without much problem, although I haven't had much luck if it's loaded high. If you have the capability to load high (386/486 with DOS5 and >1MB of RAM) and are just out of UMB space, make sure that you have scavenged all available UMB space either by using a good memory manager or by using the under-documented /I switch on EMM386. If you're not familiar with that and have a system that supports it as above, please let me know, and I'll walk you thru it. Popdrop and Mark/Release are available on many BBS's and here on CIS somewhere, probably Ziff-Net. MSCDEX itself doesn't support removal from memory. Good Luck! –Kevin

Thanks for the help… We already tried Mark/Release. It removed MSCDEX ok but the drive letters were still allocated, so it crashed with a out of drives error next time it was loaded. I'll try Popdrop –Rich
