[comp.sys.ibm.pc] int16 diagnostics

In answer to a previous newitem on int16 diagnostics:

I recently posted a trick in TSR.ASM via int16 to diagnose if the TSR
was loaded before. The trick relies on the NORMAL int16 doing nothing when
called with a funny value in AX. If the TSr is loaded then it captures the
int16 call and returns something sensible when called with the agreed upon
AX value.

However is the particular clone MSDOS does something funny when AX is set
to this value then the program can be in problem, however it works fine
on all the clones I have tried! for more info please email me directly
(see path in message, since i lost site of paths now that ihnp4 is going
away?).
