    My 2 STs (both TOS 1.0  both now 1M)  both show their normal amount of
memory at the desktop (as reported by NeoControl and/or Intersect ), but, after
booting a program of any size, show 37548 remaining. 

    I've tried re-seating all the socketed chips on 1 ST, and I've just run the
VKILLER suite on the other (it first said "HolyCow, are you infected! Shut
down and reboot") , sanitized some disks and installed a bootsector rastor
display. The supposedly sanitized disks still show this magic 37548 remaining
memory after running  any program.

    I'm confused and battered by this. I'm thinking of scuttling down the lines
before my Atari empire completely sinks. Any suggestions (including going to
MSDOS!) appreciated. Thanks                     j harris/fairbanks
