Residents ========= Resident modules are reset-protected segments (code and data). In the list of `Residents' you usually find libraries, devices and resources. A programmer has the possibility to make his own programs reset-protected. He has to initialize a resident structure for it and then he can link the program through the kick-vectors (see Vectors) to the list of the resident modules. The residents you linked to system are usually located in RAM and are of a different color. If you find a resident module that points into RAM and you don't know which program has created it, you should start your favourite virus detector and let it check your memory. Many viruses prefer this way to travel around. Column items ------------ `Address' At this address the resident module is located. `ln_Name' Name of the resident module `rt_Pri' Priority `rt_IdString' Identity string of the resident module. Actions ------- `Update' The list of `Residents' will be updated. `Print' This function allows you to send the list of `Residents' to printer or a selected file. `More' Selecting this gadget opens a new window with more information about the selected resident module. `Exit' The `Residents' window will be closed.
