Hi all!

During last time, there were often questions about programming TSR
in higher languages like C, PASCAL, MODULA etc. in this newsgroup.
Notice, that all TSR-programs need an include of assembler, which 
sets div. parameters (e.g. div. pointers of interrupts) to enable
programming the real TSR-program in higher language. The mostly 
unknown problem is the non-reentrance of DOS. It is complex and not 
as easy as it seems to be ! Look out for examples already written !
One exists in : WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (or 192.88.110.20) in
directory PD1:<msdos.asmutl>. The file name is AMISL083.ZIP .

Examples for typical TSR-programs are :
    -screensaver
    -hot-key activated programs (e.g. calcualtors,calendars,etc.) 
    -intern-command overlaying programs (such as CLS, TIME, DIR) 
    -etc.

(hope everyone understood, because of my bad english %) ) 

Thorsten.

(on the eigth day god created Harley Davidson -
 ...ten minutes later he designed the screw-driver) %)
