XTree Gold Version 2 and McAfee's Vshield (the RAM resident shield for
viruses - part of his famous Viruscan package) seem to have one conflict.

If you load Vshield in RAM in its entirety, there's no problem.  Vshield
occupies about 37 K of RAM.  However, if you load VShield and use the swap
option (/SWAP F:\ suppose, to swap to a RAM disk), the amount loaded in
conventional RAM is minimized (assuming your RAM disk uses extended memory).
In such a case, VShield occupies about 3 K.  The problem is, in this latter
case, XTreePro Gold V4.3 or the latest version XTree Gold 2.0 will lock up
your computer (requiring a cold boot) the momemt you strike the F1 key for
it's help screens.

Has anyone else run into this irritating situation?  Considering the popu-
larity of both the packages, I would imagine that it would attract the
attention of many people.  If you know of any tricks or tips that may 
solve this, could you please post or let me know by e-mail.

Thanks, in advance.   _ Jhinuk.
