[MiNT] Security again



Hi Konrad!

KMK>what TSRs are still in use in MiNT systems
On my machine:

BoxKite
NVDI
Calvino
MetaXBS
Drvin
MFP
ST_ESCC
WDialog
TraPatch
and at least 5 TraPatch modules (most of them AES related)

KMK>- other programs have own copies of cookie jar, which can be
KMK>read/written freely, despite the fact that writing of course has no
KMK>effect
Then writing to the jar is of no use.
The important thing of the jar is that it is an interface to provide
informations to other programs.

KMK>- and the TSR programs are in readable or super mem
There are TSRs which provide code to other programs via the cookie interface.
This code could modify TSR local variables in user mode.

KMK>In other words, does this proposal make any sense.
IMO: no

Bye
