Interesting program. The concept reminds me a little bit of the old MARK and RELEASE programs from the TSRCOM35 package. It seems as though KEEPHOOK may only work with AMIS-compatible TSR's, though. Is that so, or would it help with uninstalling "regular" TSR's also? Over time I'm converting my TSR's to AMIS so it might come in handy for me, but I haven't completed that process yet.

As far as "the long story" I think you did a pretty good job of explaining, but a little block diagram with some arrows may help. This stuff can be very confusing and even people who've written TSR's but aren't familiar with IISP or AMIS may have a hard time following it. I've tried writing explanations of things like this before and sometimes even I get confused with what I've written -- this is a hard thing to explain.
