; ASM88 FILE: FUN6H.A Direct Console I/O
; ----------
; WRITTEN: 26/10/87
; -------
; PURPOSE: This is one of a series of files which take
; ------- advantage of INT 21H functions under MS-DOS.
; In each case the error situation is marked by
; the carry flag being set. We use the De Smet
; external variable '_carryf' to see whether the
; carry is set on return from the function.
; If so, the error code can be used to obtain
; information about the specific error.
;
; USAGE: int FUN6H(switch, &_carryf)
; ----- int switch; /* Either 0ffh or character */
; char *_carryf;
;
; DEPENDENCIES: De Smet C V 2.44+
