The World's Smallest TSR written in C
In response to a challenge (of sorts) on the newsgroup
comp.os.msdos.programmer I wrote a TSR in C that when
resident only uses 64 bytes of memory. The source is in two files,
ralf.c and
isr.c. You can compile the TSR
using Borland C++ 3.1 with the command:
BCC -ms -O1 ralf.c isr.c
The function of this programme is trivial: it acts as replacement
Caps Lock keyboard LED by displaying a character in the upper-right
hand corner of the screen according to whether Caps Lock is on or off.
A neat SUBJLINE definition for rn
This is something I thought was lost for good three years ago,
until I found it recently in a co-worker's .profile:
from='%(%f=^[\" ]*\([^\"][^\"]*\)[\" ]*<.*>$?%1:%(%f=([ ]*\([^ ].*\)[ ]*)$?%1:%(%f=^ *< *\([^>][^>]*\)>[() ]*$?%1:%f)))'
sptw='\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040\040'
sps='\040\040\040\040\040\040'
dottw='....................'
export SUBJLINE="%($from=^\($dottw\)\(.*\)?%1%2\n$sps${sptw}:%($from$sptw=^\($dottw\)?%1)) %[subject]"
This Bourne shell script
sets the enviroment variable SUBJLINE
which controls the format of the lines displayed by rn's '=' command.
The result is a listing of articles like this:
