O.K. I've hidden 500.Toolbox by renaming it and removed the 310.Toolbox
directory from 500 modules.Now !Transient now nearly works as before.
It was essentially set to never expire but now 93Mb of data is
unavailable. It is sitting in !Scrap and trying to drop it on the
!Transient icon has no effect.
Just wondering if those 26bit modules could be used by !Aemulor for pre-
Strongarm use?
