That was the thing I was worried about. Maybe I'll write Command.com
natively
instead.
Someone suggested emulation from disk, and that's exactly how I was
thinking
of doing it.
Where can I find a list of INTs DOS uses? I checked a couple of bookstores
but most of them aren't too helpful with low-level DOS.
