Int 60

Excelan LAN Workplace for DOS 3.5 - API

ES:BX -> request packet (see #03272)

Return:
Request packet updated
InstallCheck:
Test for the WORD 4142h ('AB') immediately preceding the
interrupt handler

Note: This interrupt is also supported by Beame&Whiteside's BWLWP35 shim, which was used in creating this description

BUG: Because BWLWP35 range-checks only the low byte of the function number, and has a fencepost error even in that test, functions 000Bh and XX01h-XX0Bh (XX nonzero) branch to random locations
