- My setup here is similar. My RUN.BAT loads X00 when it starts and unloads
- it when it ends. This way, the FOSSIL is always available to Waffle
- whether I run it from DOS (for speed) or Windows (for multitasking), and
- it's always removed from memory when I change from one environment to the
- other.
