	Ok, I'm sorry! The removal/reload case was one that I assumed
would work and so didn't bother to test (and I call myself a
programmer).

	Anyway, I've fixed the problem, and will upload a new version
to cica asap. I've also restructured the program so it should work ok
on EMS systems (but again I've not been able to test this fully as all
our machines run in 386 mode). Flame me if it doesn't work still.
