Most other sources document only the official (a.k.a. "documented")
DOS features. RBIL is a noteworthy exception, but RBIL is terse and
laconic, and assumes you already know what you want to do, and just
need a reference. It is also hard to find in RBIL stuff you want that
is not a specific DOS call (e.g., a DOS internal data structure),
unless you happen to know where it is described.

It's more than 1000 pages, so it's much more than just the SDA and the
network redirector.
