No, this time I won't agree. Any TSR which accesses DOS structures such as MCBs in memory asynchronously (even as to read only), without first checking INDOS, is just buggy and potentially breaks pretty much everything, not just KBFR v1.5... won't you agree ? I repeat myself, you seem to be stretching your (otherwise good) points to an extent which is threatening to disserve your case.
