Hello Klaus,
Thks for yr response. The TSR i am looking for was a general TSR module of
running apps in the background of the PC. The module doesn't do anything
more than that (hooking on timer int and catching keyboard en other int
vectors). The origin of this module was an article or book (i don't
remember) about writing terminate and stay resident software. The other
party claims the copyrights of what they call their backgrnd.exe module
written in microsoft MASM. It is hard to proof after 20 years finding the
right information. Basicly articles or books with assembly source examples
of how to write TSR (<1987) will help me.
Best regards,
Kees-Jan
