Something's eating my batteries!

Hi All,
long time since I've been here, but maybe someone can help.

My trusty Visor Deluxe has started chewing through a pair of AAA's in a couple of days or so. I think there must be some rogue app that's running in the background or something.

In the delete screen, the only two things I don't recognise are "NSBRuntime" and "TminusLib". Could these be the culprits? I recently installed Big Clock as a replacement for Alarming which used to work fine before, but won't install now and gives some kind of error message in the hotsynch log.

Any ideas?

NSBRuntime is the runtime library for NS Basic, which some Palm apps use. I don't know what TminusLib is, but it sounds like it could be for an alarm program. (It isn't a BigClock file.)

What's probably happened is the capacitor that ensures you have a bit of juice left for a battery change has failed. If I remember right, it fails shorted, so the batteries will drain very quickly when the capacitor goes.
