What? TSR? Are you on DOS still?
See wikipedia

On the assumption that you really do mean TSR as in Terminate and Stay Resident, here's a wander through ancient history:
The long out of print The Programmer's Guide MSDOS by Dennis M. Jump (1984, ISBN 0-8359-5655-5) was a good reference to all you'd need to know. Of course, C compilers that targeted pure DOS without too much runtime burden were rare, but Borland TurboC came pretty close. I'm pretty sure I once wrote a TSR in Datalight C too, but it has been a long time since those days.
The modern descendant of TurboC is still available, and the compiler is free. I don't think it can target classic real-mode DOS any more, however.
True Turbo C v2.01 is available at the museum.
The FreeDOS folk probably have useful tools as well.

The A to Z of C has a chapter on TSR programming.
