Problem

Solutions: DOS BUSY FLAG: DOS sets a flag when it is performing other functions internally. The flag is called the DOS BUSY FLAG. Many TSRs (i.e., Grab) would normally cause the system to crash if they interrupted DOS when it was working. Most "nice" TSRs check the DOS BUSY FLAG before starting its routine in order to prevent locking the computer. Note: The user can override this function with Grab's /I option.
