   Does anyone know where this 'are' came from?  When I first loaded
   NETX, it wasn't exist and I had 500K for maximum executable program
   size.  With its presence, there was only 350K left for the largest 
   executable.  

   The second problem it caused was that it hooked NETX, there was no
   way for me to unload NETX.  

   Any suggestion to kill or avoid 'are' is highly appreciated!!

   ps. 'are' seemed to be ghostly come out after a login session is 
       conducted.
