SUMMARY
Microsoft does not give out any information about undocumented system
features. If calls, flags, or interrupts are undocumented, it is
because they are not supported; we can give NO guarantee that they
will exist in future releases of MS-DOS. If you find out about these
features (through articles or by chance) and begin using them in your
programs, there is a real potential that your application will not
work in future MS-DOS versions.
We strongly advise against using undocumented features for these reasons
and will give out no information about their use.
