In addition to THELP.PAS, there's a collection called STAYRES.PAS (written by Lane Ferris, "The Hunter's Helper") which I found on the Borland SIG (BOR-100) of Compuserve. These have been posted to <info-ibmpc> for those of you with arpa access. If you can't find them on a local BBS, try the Wipcus BBS (313) 663-1835 24hr 2400baud. A big problem with writing resident code in turbo is the overhead associated with it--at least 15K, even for small applications. Until Borland comes out with an optimizing Turbo, if you want to write *real* resident programs stick to a lower-level language. (My 640K machine is already full of all the resident stuff it can handle.)
