any (dinosaur ;)) knows any DOS TSR Text replacement ?

[plouf]

Hello

i am looking for a DOS program to replace text in runtime.
there was some in the past (decades ago) but cant remember/find now

these programs where executed and remain resident in memory, had some text associations i.e "microsoft = crap " " ABC = DEF " etc
when a program executed AFTER it and has this text anywhere printed (on screen) it does replace it.

Terminate and stay resident! I remember Borland Sidekick. I wrote a couple too, nice times.

I don't have one doing what you ask, but I have some source templates, in both C and ASM to help making one from scratch if that can help. You need to have some DOS ASSEMBLER, and some old C compiler for DOS to build them and code the rest by yourself. It's not difficult if you have some DOS programming experience.
You just need to set a pointer to the base memory address for the monochrome or color card and then read and write in the characters video memory (or use BIOS interrupts calls to do the same in a "higher" way).

thanks ! but it not so urgent to spend time learning DOS i have no background in dos programming

somethink old and tested is preffered

Try to look on some abandonware site, or in the SimTel archives (google) they still have lot of DOS software, I don't have other ideas
But considering the peculiar thing you are looking for I think the probability of finding something like this are quite low.
