		Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) computer programs were the only way to achieve a primitive sort of multitasking (usually just task-switching) using the DOS operating system.
		The TSR has now disappeared completely, as multitasking operating systems such as Windows XP, Mac OS, and Linux provide the facilities for multiple programs to run simultaneously without the need for special programming tricks, and the modern notion of protected memory makes it unthinkable that an application should be able to modify an interrupt table.
		Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) computer program s were the only way to achieve a primitive sort of multitasking using the DOS operating system.

	TSR - Terminate and Stay Resident
		Terminate and Stay Resident Refers to a program that remains in memory when the user exits it in order that it be immediately available at the press of a hotkey.
		TSR viruses usually design a method by which they are put into memory when the computer is booted, and then run until the computer is shut down.

		TSR terminal emulators toggled by an odd key combination such as sharing a box with WP or Visicalc with block cut/paste between the two.
		TSR to watch the video buffer and keyboard to catch words on input, spell-check, and popup suggestions or ring a bell (maybe not so popular).
		TSRs usually intercepted (and therefore changed) some interrupts, usually the keyboard and the timer -- that would be the only way for them to get the control flow.

	CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: RESIDENT PROGRAMS (Part 1)
		Resident programs also known as terminate and stay resident programs or TSRs provide a tiny amount of multitasking to an otherwise single tasking operating system.
		MS-DOS provides a second termination call which is identical to the terminate call with one exception it does not reset the free memory pointer to reclaim all the memory in use by the application.
		Upon entry the resident routine may specify that certain registers contain various parameters but one thing you cannot expect is for the calling code to properly set up the segment registers for you.

	1527 - TSR, Terminate and Stay Resident (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		TSR stands for "Terminate and Stay Resident." Most software programs run and then shut down completely, either automatically when they are finished running, or when the user chooses the Close or Exit option.
		A TSR is a program which continues to run in the background, while returning the user to the command line, allowing the user to run other additional programs.
		TSRs are used for many things, from providing support for your hardware devices, to pop-up accessories like calculators or notepads that you can access with special keypresses while you are running other programs.

		Then when you load the TSR, first check to see if this string of characters is at this location in the current interrupt handler.
		Now once the TSR is installed, the hook to INT 1Ch will check the flag that we have set and either "stop" the speaker, or skip it.

	Ter from FOLDOC
		A Terminal Adaptor is typically packaged like a modem, either as a stand-alone unit or as an interface card that plugs into a computer or other communications equipment (such as a router or PBX).
		Evaluation of a constant is bound to terminate, as is evaluation of a non-recursive function applied to arguments which are either not evaluated or which can themselves be proved to terminate.
		Termination analysis can never guarantee to give the correct answer because this would be equivalent to solving the halting problem so the answer it gives is either "definitely terminates" or "don't know".

		The resident program will generally display the fact that it is resident and show a "hot key" to activate it again.
		If the resident program wasn't interested in that particular keyboard action or keystroke, it could simply pass control along to the place where the pointer had been pointing before just as if it hadn't been eavesdropping at all!
		However, if the key action happened to be this resident program's assigned "hot key", it could retain control of the system as long as it wished, before passing it along as if nothing at all had happened!

		There are three[5] functions of general interest- program termination, terminate and stay resident, and execute a program.
		This function also terminates program execution, but upon returning to DOS, the memory in use by the process is not returned to the DOS free memory pool.
		Most TSRs patch into one of the interrupt vectors (such as a keyboard, printer, or serial interrupt vector) in order to restart whenever some hardware related event occurs (such as when a key is pressed).

	Differences between COMMAND /C and CALL
		When you exit from the command shell, the memory used by COMMAND.COM is freed, but the memory used for the TSR program is not.
		Hence, system memory becomes fragmented; there is memory allocated for TSR programs located in the middle of free memory.
		Therefore, if a TSR program is loaded, it is loaded at the bottom of memory, just above the resident portion of COMMAND.COM; all free memory remains in a single, contiguous block, which makes it easier for MS-DOS to work.
