The subject line says it all...  Right now I'm writing a small TSR
program that hooks interrupt 9 for activation.  Whenever you press
a key, my program checks to see if it should activate...if so, it
does...or so I thought.  The program works fine in DOS and most
text mode programs but it won't work in all games. (It does work in
some, however)  I suppose the games it won't work with completely
take over INT 9 but does any one have an idea for a solution to
this??  There must be some way to allow it to activate in every (or
a least most) games...  And, No, my program does not write anything
to the screen or access files.  (it accesses the PC speaker)...
Any ideas, suggestions, tips, etc. would be great...Thanks (I
hope)...
