TSR's to that required of the largest TSR
plus the 40k that On-Call uses itself. For

would like to use four smaller TSR's that
total another 200k, On-Call will swap the
smaller ones in and out of memory until
needed, using just 100k for the largest and
40k for itself. This swapping only works if
the TSR's are the kind that only do something
when you pop them up, such as Sidekick, not
the kind that must always be active to
monitor the system, such as a keyboard macro
program or a screen blanker. (Forest Hill
