Hello. I was perusing the latest interrupt list, and noticed that with int 24H (DOS Fatal Error), there is a "fail system call" return (AL = 3) for DOS 3+. I have not heard of this before (my Norton Book does not even mention it). Does it allow, for example, a write to a file to gracefully fail if, for example, there disk door is not closed? Where can I find a *GOOD* description of how to use this feature? Ideally, could someone in the T.O. area FAX me some docs (i.e. the pages on INT 24H in the DOS 3.X manual)? If you can do this, please e-mail me first so that we don't get several copies!
