I'm trying to run a DOS application, that uses a TSR as a database driver. So I donn't need TSR support in win32. I was just thinking how TSR support should look like in wine, and that involves what should happen if you start a TSR programm in a win32 shell. You can run already DOS programms in Win32 shells, so it's naturally to try running a TSR.
The problem is that launching a DOS program from a Win32 shell creates a new DOS box, so you can certainly run a TSR in there but your app won't be able to access it since it won't run in the same DOS box. So yes, you need to start the TSR from a DOS shell. But I suspect that a real DOS emulator may be a better choice for your app than Wine.
