TSR's

[Noble Bell]

Can anyone offer a quick solution here?
I am creating a TSR for a client of mine that needs to fire once
and only once each day at 4am in the morning.

Is there a quick and dirty way to do this??

Thanks in advance,
Noble

What will the TSR actually do? That is, TSR's eat into conventional memory, so they are not always the best solution to "task scheduling".

Since you want quick-n-dirty, and if the PC is running Windows, have you though about using the scheduler to handle the timing task for you?

Otherwise the way to do it would be to use POPUP TIMER to activate the TSR.

To start off, the TSR would need to calculate the number of ticks until 4am, set that with POPUP TIMER, then use POPUP SLEEP to pop down until activation.

The TSR will be running on an old DOS only machine and all it
will do is at 4am backup the contents of drive C to drive D.
That is it.

I will give it a try.

Some years ago I wrote a backup routing to do just what you want.
It has the ability to change the "pop on time time etc.

I will dig it up for your FREE use if you like.

(it runs in pure dos on a network - Netware and it uses pkzip etc)
