Does anyone know why memory resident programs such as Sidekick won't come up
when the following program, compiled with Microsoft C (3.0), is being run?

main () {
     char string[80];
     while (1) {
           puts("Enter a <CR> terminated line\n");
           gets(string);
     }
}

Sidekick is loaded, the above program is executed, and then Ctrl-ALT is pressed
to invoke Sidekick.  The computer emits 5 slow beeps, and then continues.  A
similar version of the program, (using fgets(string,80,stdin)), compiled with
C86 did the same thing.

Any ideas?
