Anyone knows what would happen if a TSR program deallocates its memory while another program is running (i.e. the memory block deallocated is not the last one in the memory-block chain)? Would the "hole" in the chain be reclaimed after the program has exited? Would DOS go crazy with this hole in the memory? I'm asking this because I want to write a TSR program to do some background task while other programs may be running. When it has finished its background task it would deallocate itself to free up memory. peter /* ** ARPA: pwu@unix.macc.wisc.edu BITNET: WU at WISVMACC ** UUCP: {seismo|harvard|topaz|caip|ll-xn| <-+ ** allegra|akgua|ucbvax|bellcore|ihnp4}!uwvax!uwmacc!pwu | ** | ** Uuhosts on this line may have faster delivery time. --------+ */
