Hi! Thanks to Duncan Murdoch for the aid in exe file header wuestions. Now I have another question!! Alot for someone never posted to this group before, hunh? Ok, I'm trying to write a clock tsr. I want it to allocate just enough memory at the very highest address for itself, then move there.. I can code all this, but when I do allocatea block there, it disappears! I.E. is no longer in the mcb chain, it just gets absorbed back into free space when the process terminates. How can I do this? The way I'm doing this is shrinking the block allocated to the com file that does all this by the amount of memory i need up there, plus a little more. Allocating memory (and it does this ok). But it wont stick around! Is this just the way msdos is, or is there a way to do this? Email to rob.wedlock@samba.acs.unc.edu THANKS!!!
