INT 21 - DOS 3.0+ - CREATE NEW FILE
AH = 5Bh
CX = file attribute (see #01420 at AX=4301h)
DS:DX -> ASCIZ filename
Return: CF clear if successful
AX = file handle opened for read/write in compatibility mode
CF set on error
AX = error code (03h,04h,05h,50h) (see #01680)
Notes: unlike AH=3Ch, this function will fail if the specified file exists
rather than truncating it; this permits its use in creating semaphore
files because it is an atomic "test and set" operation
under the FlashTek X-32 DOS extender, the filename pointer is in DS:EDX
