<pre><b>INT 21 - DOS 1+ - GET FILE SIZE FOR FCB</b>

	AH = 23h
	DS:DX -&gt; unopened FCB (see <a href=../../it/45/13.html>#01345</a>), wildcards not allowed
Return: AL = status
	    00h successful (matching file found)
		FCB random record field filled with size in records, rounded up
		to next full record
	    FFh failed (no matching file found)
Notes:	not supported by MS Windows 3.0 DOSX.EXE DOS extender
	MS-DOS returns nonsense if the FCB record number field is set to a very
	  large positive number, and status FFh if negative; DR DOS returns the
	  correct file size in both cases
BUG:	APPEND for DOS 3.3+ corrupts DX if the file is not found
SeeAlso: AH=42h
