INT 14h, 7Eh Install an "external application" function
Entry: AL Code assigned to external application
DX Offset of application entry point
ES Segment of application entry point
Exit: AX 1954h
BL Code assigned to application (same as input AL)
BH 01h - Installation was successful
00h - Installation failed
This call is used by external application code (special screen drivers,
modem code, database code, etc) to link into the INT 14h service for use
by multiple applications. The "error return" (BH=0 with AX=1954h) should
mean that another application layer has already been installed at that
particular code. Codes 80h through BFh should be supported.
External application codes 80h-83h are reserved by FOSSIL developers for
re-organizing FOSSIL services by type (comm, screen, keyboard, system).
Installed application code will be entered, via a FAR call, from the INT
14H dispatcher whenever it is entered with AH=(application code).
If the value returned in AX from this function is not 1954h, the service
code that is trying to be installed should bring up its own INT 14h code
that can service INT 14h functions 7h-BFh (80h-BFh are "applications").
