Turbo Power Software (publishers of Object Professional) recently
released TSRs Made Easy, which appears to be essentially the TSR portion
of OPro in a standalone package. List price (direct from Turbo Power) is
only $49. Order at 800/333-4160, or talk to them at 408/438-8608 or on
CompuServe at 76004,2611.

Opro would, and therefore TSRME should, do all that Albert Zhou wants,
with far less pain than if he made the discoveries himself. Since TSRME
comes with full source code and examples, there is plenty of opportunity
for learning about TSRs rather than just blindly plugging into the TSRME
units (as I would do <g>). And TSRME's use is royalty-free.

Disclaimers: I have no financial interest in Turbo Power Software or its
products--I'm just a die-hard fan of theirs. And my office uses Turbo
Power Software products, but this message does not constitute an
endorsement by EPO or any related organization. ;)
