What library is "_stddata.ah" from?

Hi,
I was playing around with MS DOS in Virtual box and found that the program dosidle didn't like emm386.
The program included the source, and there was a comment that it was compiled with Tasm 4.0.
What I don't know is where the following libraries are from:

ideal                                   ; Yep, this prog is TASM 4.0 coded!
include "_stddata.ah"
include "_tsrres.ah"
include "_dcon.ah"

Does anyone recognise these libraries?
(Source attached)

Cheers.
