You've posted to at least nine different NG's...
Are you sure your timeframe is correct? If not, there is a 1990 program
which meets your other requirements:
1) is a TSR
2) seems to run applications in the background of a PC
3) hooks the timer and keyboard interrupts
4) is named 'backgrnd.asm'
The program is part of the wattcp.zip package (available everywhere...)
and
copyrighted is claimed by the University of Waterloo:
