Hi,

Let me explain u, Little bit about TSR Programming Concept.


TSR or “Terminate and Stay Resident” Programming is one of the interesting topics in DOS Programming. TSR programs are the one which seems to terminate, but remains resident in memory. So the resident program can be invoked at any time. Few TSR programs are written with the characteristic of TCR (Terminate Continue Running) i.e., TSR program seems to terminate, but continues to run in the background. TSR Programming is supposed to be an easy one, if you know the DOS internals.

Hi,
TSR stands for Terminate and Stay Resistant. A TSR program installs itself (or gets installed) and will stay permanent in the system even if the program returns from its main routine.

The clock which we will develop here is an excellent example of a TSR program. We want a clock which outputs its time on the statusline, but we want also to use the calculator's commandline as usual. A program which loops within its main routine (like the one developed in tutorial S1P2) cannot be used for this purpose. The clock program has to return from its main routine letting the system think that it has finished.
