Reminds me of the drip.com TSR program that I put on some of the school computers circa 1990.

Yeah in 1991 our college lab's MSDOS PC's were unsecured (unsecurable!?), so our prof quickly learned to regret teaching us how to write TSR's in ASM.

Ours had PS-2s on a token ring network with a TUI to get to the word processor etc but it also had a “drop down to DOS” option that the teachers didn’t know about.

I also got in trouble for playing Leisure Suit Larry in 6th grade computer class.
