AX = 2B44h ('D')
BX = 4D41h ('MA')
CX = 7063h ('pc')
DX = 4157h ('AW')

Return:
AX = resident program
4F4Bh ('OK') if large host resident
6F6Bh ('ok') if small host resident
CX:DX -> API entry point (see #01389)

See Also: INT 16/AH=79h

(Table 01389)
Call pcANYWHERE API entry point with:.
AX = 0000h get pcANYWHERE IV version
DS:SI -> BYTE buffer for host type code
Return:
AH = version number
AL = revision number
DS:DI buffer byte filled with
00h full-featured host
01h limited-feature LAN host
other API may not be supported.
AX = 0001h initialize operation
DS:SI -> initialization request structure (see #01390)
Return:
AX = function status (see #01393).
AX = 0002h get status
Return:
AH = current operating mode (see #01390)
AL = current connection status (see #01392).
AX = 0003h suspend remote screen updates
Return:
AX = function status (see #01393).
AX = 0004h resume screen updates
Return:
AX = function status (see #01393).
AX = 0005h end current remote access session
DS:SI -> termination request structure (see #01391)
Return:
AX = function status (see #01393).
AX = 0006h remove pcANYWHERE IV from memory
Return:
AX = status (see #01393).
AX = 8000h read data from communications channel
DS:BX -> buffer
CX = buffer size
Return:
AX >= number of characters read/available
AX < 0 on error.
AX = 8001h write data to communications channel
DS:BX -> buffer
CX = buffer size
Return:
AX >= number of characters written
AX < 0 on error.
AX = 8002h get connection status
Return:
AX = status
> 0000h if connection active
= 0000h if connection lost
< 0000h on error
