      TSRs must be a .COM file if I recall, because of the way DOS loads
COM vs. .EXE. A .COM file is a memory image, and is loaded in the same
place in memory. An .EXE file can be loaded anywhere in memory. I don't have
my tech reference at the moment, or I would give you a more detailed
explanation.
