If any of the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks terminate-and-stay resident
(TSR) programs (Micro, Monitor, or Operator) are loaded on a NetWare local-
area network (LAN), they may not unload when they are requested from a
batch file. This problem occurs regardless of whether the TSR is loaded
into memory from the command line or from a batch file; the common factor
is that the TSR is requested to unload from a batch file.
CAUSE
This problem can be traced to NetWare's method of allocating environment
space, and only occurs on NetWare LANs. This is NOT a problem with MS-Net
Redirector-based networks.
RESOLUTION
There is no permanent solution at this time; however, you can eliminate the
problem by allocating more environment space. To increase environment space
usage, use the Set command with dummy variables such as these:
set a=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
set b=bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
If the TSR is loaded when these variables have been issued, it will unload
when requested from a batch file. The number of extra environment variables
will depend on how simple your configuration is.
