: I did not see anything in this task which was relevant to DOS TSRs.
:: see [[wp:Daemon_(computing)#Implementation_in_MS-DOS_and_Microsoft_Windows|Wikipedia]]: ''In the Microsoft DOS environment, daemon-like programs were implemented as Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) software.''--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 09:19, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
::: Yes... ok, TSRs get mentioned. But to set up a DOS TSR you need to arrange for your interrupt handler to remain after the program exits, and of course you also need to set things up so that when interrupts happen the handler gets the interrupts. Then you need to exit the program. But this task is not about setting up interrupt handlers under DOS. Most of the languages here will not even run under DOS. So, anyways, this task is not about setting up a DOS TSR, and would not be useful for setting up a DOS TSR. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 15:37, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
: As far as I know, this approach (redefining stdout) is only relevant for "daemons" when you are running the program under Unix. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 18:36, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
:: from a users perspective the process ends, but it is actually still there. the fact that DOS TSR requires an interrupt for the program to wake up has more to do with the lack of multitasking than being something different alltogether.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 09:10, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
