Said of a TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) mess-dos progrAM, such as the N pop-up calendar and calculator utilities that circulate on BBS systems: unsociable. Used to describe a progrAM that rudely steals the resources that it needs without considering that other TSRs may also be resident. One particularly common form of rudeness is lock-up due to progrAMs fighting over the keyboard interrupt. [Jargon File] (1995-02-21)
