What it does is copy a simple ISR }to the end of conventional memory, or to a UMB if available. True enough, but it does manage to terminate and stay resident even if it doesn't use the DOS service. BTW, AMISLIB will also allow a TSR to load at the top end of conventional memory or in a UMB as well as at the low end with a partial PSP. Though the TSRs you build with it are somewhat larger than the absolute minimum, you get the advantages of a standardized interface and the ability to unload in any order. -- Internet: RALF+@CS.CMU.EDU |The University would disclaim this if it knew...
