Excellent Dan. For Alpha what is the unload command I use and where
is this documented ? How exactly does this command trigger the execution
of unload code in the driver so the driver can clean up its resource
use prior to the final unload ?

Also, do you happen to know why, when I have mentioned this in the past,
I was told it wasn't possible ?

Thanks,

Simon.
