I'm no asm expert, far from that, I'm just finishing a course at the
moment (2 classes to go) and TSR's are what with are into at the moment.

I don't know if I'm right or wrong yet (I was going to do that as an
extra part of an assigmnent) but from my undestanding, to free up the
installation part of the TSR, you first move into DX the offset of the
installation protion label (call it START) an use INT 27h so anything
after DX is freed.
So what I think needs to be done is to do SOMETHING LIKE that INT 27h
BUT only for the region that is between your ORG (usually 100h) till
that offset of START. Just as I was typing, it occurs to me that you
can't use INT 27h really since it will free EVERYTHING after DX, so this
is where I'll get stuck unless there is another INT that I don't know
about yet (boy! ever tried to find something in a 1.6 MEG files of text
<grin>).

Anyone else as any idea or, dare i say, POINTERS ???
(BTW anyone knows if alt.lang.asm is still "net"alive??).
