INT 21 - DOS 2+ - IOCTL - GET INPUT STATUS
AX = 4406h
BX = file handle
Return: CF clear if successful
AL = input status
00h not ready (device) or at EOF (file)
FFh ready
AH may be destroyed (refer to note)
CF set on error
AX = error code (01h,05h,06h,0Dh) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)
Notes: files may not register as being at EOF if positioned there by AH=42h
under DOS 5.0, on a successful return, AH contains either the next
character which will be read or 1Ah if at EOF; under a Windows95
DOS box, AH seems to be either unchanged or 00h
this function was not supported by Digital Research's DOS Plus
BUG: the CLOCK$ device under DR DOS 3.41 always indicates 'Ready'; this was
corrected in v5.0
