Make sure you size up the competition first!  Such a TSR is already
available from Skisoft, somewhere in Vermont, for $40.  (I didn't want
to pay, so just fixed my own Kermit and Sprint.)  

A very smart price, much less what what it would cost yourself in
time, but much more than it is worth in mass production. It should
just be licensed and distributed free by laptop manufacturers.

Also I heard rumor here once of a program HOTCUR which supposedly was
distributed on Simtel, but could not find it.
