Hello,
I have obtained the dubvios task of writing a TSR (terminate stay resident)
program to run in the back ground on a running work station. The work
station receives downloads constantly and must be free to process. The
general idea is to write a TSR to access a disk file while the station
is running. I plan to use the TIMER INT for the background affect.
The main purpose is to view the LOG file without exiting the
work station process. I am planning to hot key to a window to view the file
over the work station menus and windows. I was planning on using direct
writes to the monochrome video buffer to do so. Also, in order to access the
disk for the file I need to re-enter DOS. The workstation is a PC running
DOS 3.3 or higher. The host is a 3B2.
My question is, does anyone have TSR code or literature to help me out, and
does anyone have any of the same resources for the DOS re-entry (ie, the
DOS busy flag). If you can suggest a good source (code or literature)
please reply.
Thanks for any and all help,
Bruce Altmann
