SYMPTOMS
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.
