- True enough, but it does manage to terminate and stay resident even if it
- doesn't use the DOS service.

- BTW, AMISLIB will also allow a TSR to load at the top end of conventional
- memory or in a UMB as well as at the low end with a partial PSP. Though
- the TSRs you build with it are somewhat larger than the absolute minimum,
- you get the advantages of a standardized interface and the ability to
- unload in any order.
