I'm only searching for any avaible chance that can help me to do my work, nothing
more.

You are right, but don't tell me what I can not do, please tell me things that help me
to do what I want to do. ;-)

Also im looking for a TSR-body that captures some INT's (21h / 2Fh), can be unloaded
from memory, has a hotkey to de-/activate...and maybe some other features. In other
words I'm looking for a programmer that has/writes this part that installs my
"INT21-kernel" into memory (evt. from the CONFIG.SYS via device=???).

By, Andreas.
