Has anybody written a TP interface to a FOSSIL driver?  I've written one that
works using the intr(); procedure, but the FOSSIL driver that I have 
(X00V123H.ZIP)  warns that multitasking software (i.e. DeskView) will trap
a INT 14  request.  The author supplies an alternate method to using the
intr() procedure which consists of only object code (no source :-() that can 
be linked in and used instead.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work.  I
can't initialize the driver using the the new procedure TPX00().  Everything's
fine using intr(), nothing works using TPX00(). 

I can live slower performance under DeskView (since I don't use it :-), but
I'd like the code to be as robust as possible.  Has anybody done anything 
similar?
