Yep, but most of the TSR's will use the memmory management of memman also, so if you seperate those routine most of the current TSRs won't work anymore (and I doubt if somenone will rewrite them.)

I wish you much success with writing a TSR initialization routine that runs under DOS and does not need to go back to BASIC but loads the code in such a way that it is not destroyed when the user eventually goes to BASIC anyway. I myself have never been able to do so. Just take for example R800-drive. You can only load it from BASIC.

I think it's lazy to go to Basic to intialize, from Basic you need to continue doing something (bult-in use of keyboardbuffer) when MemMan is loaded. Setting up the system for MemMan is much work and slows down the boot-up process. Besides, you always see the message MemMan has been installed.

I wonder if that system could be extracted from MemMan and initialize it the silent way you describe. If I'd have the sources for MemMan, I'd really try to either create a silent way without switching to Basic or use the TSR management system initialized the silent way.
