Currently, I am programming on such a TSR. But it's a tricky job to
do if you don't want to waste DOS memory. Hardest thing is to swap out
programs that occupy all the DOS memory. If I come to terms with it,
I'll surely dedicate it to the public domain and post it, but I don't
think it'll be finished till Xmas...
