it's pretty much impossible to write a TSR in eu. all you can do is set 
up the handler in eu and hope that your vector code doesn't get 
replaced, but the TSR itself has to be in assembly.

There's no such thing, but there's an easy way to set up a TSR of sorts. 
Just write a program that does its stuff and launch it in the 
background. This is called a daemon.

I could help you with anything you need to set up your own vectors.
