- Turbo Power puts the code for detecting a previously loaded copy and the
- code to unload a previous copy into their Turbo Professional and Object
- Professional packages (and presumably TSRs Made Easy, but I haven't looked
- at that package). It's not easy to write an uninstall - there are a lot of
- issues involved, such as whether it's really safe to uninstall, how to close
- open files, etc.
