I posted this last month and I received several mailers expressing interest
in the answers I got. Unfortunately I didn't get any. Since I've seen some
interest on this subject, I think I can get away with posting it once more:
1) Is it possible to force a software written in a high-level language (say
Turbo Pascal) exit but stay resident using appropriate MsDos function
calls as is normally done using assembly language?
2) Along the same lines, is it possible to make that software an extension
of COMMAND.COM. That is, can one write a utility in Turbo and attach it
to COMMAND.COM?
What is the procedure? Drawbacks besides the obvious waste of memory?
Any hints, pointers or small examples are appreciated.
