/* ---------- "TSR standard" ---------- */

----------------------------------------------------------

	During the discussion on TSR's a while back someone had
mentioned that Microsoft would be putting together guidelines
for people to follow in order to put a halt to TSR interference.
The writer said that they were supposed to be ready in Nov '86 
and that it was already late.
	I am currently writing a TSR and wish to be in compliance
with the guidlines. Does anyone know if they have completed this
document and where I can get it.
 
	While I'm at it, does anyone have a 'default echo off'  
patch for command.com in PC-DOS 3.2 Please ? (Note: PC-DOS)
 
	As always anyone else who wants this, email me and I will 
post if there is sufficient interest or email otherwise.

This project is definately "full steam ahead", and all the participants
can be found on CompuServe in the Computer Languages Magazine SIG. The only
one of the team I'm personally acquainted with is Jim Kyle, the SIG's sysop.
Jim can tell you everything you want to know; reach him either on CIS, or
call him (he's listed in the Okla City phone book, and there's only one 'Jim
Kyle' listed - that's area code 405).

From what I've heard from Jim, Borland is working on a new version of SideKick
that will be in full compliance with the new standards (which means it won't
be so mean 'n' nasty on your dos, and you'll be able to use it with other 
TSR's without forever crashing).

I hope the rest of the world takes notice, and follows suit. Sure would make
life a lot easier.
