What is involved in writing a DOS application that has to handle interrupts
that can still run alongside Windows (286/386/3)? What should be the split
between device driver/tsr/application? How should they interact? Should I give
up now? What pitfalls (other than the problem of asynchronous handling of
interrupts) am I letting myself in for? Should I just write one thing for DOS
and one each for Windows 286/386/3?

Answers to any of these questions or pointers to where I might get some would
be much appreciated.

- Paul.
