Back in the day, when DOS 3.3 was the supreme operating system, Boreland's "Sidekick" was popular. I used it, found it more than helpful, and finally stopped using it, when they dragged my butt into the twentieth century miracles of multitasking operating systems.
What is a TSR? It was a terminate and stay resident program, which used a tiny amount of the precious memory allowed by DOS, and helped tremendously with dealing with batch files, directories, running programs, and just examining what was on your computer. There was even a calculator, and notepad.
Why am I posting about this? I have no idea. Maybe "Sidekick" didn't quite terminate, and stayed resident in my memory.
