- ANY program _cannot_ be made stay resident [sic]. Nearly any program

- a tty, and does not need to be brought to the foreground on command can
- be run in the background.

- Of course any smart-ass who recognizes the acronym TSR knows that Guy
- was refering to DOS. TSR programs are not at all trivial in DOS.
- I got a lot of good info from "Undocumented DOS" by Schulman et. al.
- published by Addison Wesly The copy I got had a source disk in the
- back. I also got a lot of suggestions and samples from a file that I
- got on the local BBS. I don't remember the filename, but it was written
- by a 'consortium' of TSR developers who are trying to bring sanity to
- this whole can o' worms. The name of that group is TeSeRact. This may
- also be the name of the file. It has been quite a while, but I think
- I opted not to use their approach, as the former seemed more robust.
