I just looked at the documentation for the new replacements for MARK
adn RELEASE called WorkTSRS.  This new set of utilities permit you to
put a mark prior to a tsr and then when you need to release that tsr
later WITHOUT LOOSING THE INTERUPT CHAIN OR MAKING A WHOLE IN MEMORY.
I have only done rudimentary tests and it seems to work O.K. but do be
careful.  These utilities are copyrighted but are available for use
and distribution.  They came across the net a short time ago so they
should be in a local archive somewhere if anyone needs them.  I have
always found them to be nice and reliable.
