Well, at least one of them needs to be replaced anyway. The one for
"spawning" a new session under DOS (Alt-Z). Running under some software
(Netware Lite or Personal Netware SERVER.EXEs) it wouldn't swap
INSPECTA out, so you'd have 300k of RAM taken up, making it hard to run
a lot of things when you "shelled out" to DOS.
