I am a happy user of the MKS package (Version 1.4). It is useful both with and
without pc-shell (a good shareware package). PS gives the memory allocation map
currently in use and if you are running DOS 3.1 or later it correctly
identifies all current RAM resident programs by name, size and location. I have
not used KILL and cannot comment on its effectiveness but it is supposed to
allow one to free up memory allocated for a RAM resident package.
