INT 2F - Novell DOS 7 - EMM386.EXE - MULTITASKING API - DPMI SERVICES
AX = 2780h
CL = 06h
CH = function
00h "F_InitDPMI" used for internal initialization
01h "F_DescAllocLDT" allocate LDT descriptor
02h "F_DescFreeLDT" free LDT descriptor
03h "F_DescGetLDT" get details on LDT descriptor
04h "F_DescSetLDT" set up LDT descriptor
05h "F_DescAllocInt21" allocate descriptor for PM INT 21
06h "F_WhereIsDPMI" get address of DPMI global data
Return: ???
Notes: called by DPMS.EXE and EMM386.EXE
the handler for this function may be set by one of the subfunctions
of AX=2780h/CL=01h; the default handler returns AX=BX=FFFFh and
CX=0001h (see #02739)
this API is only available if AX=12FFh/BX=0EDCh returns successfully;
because the request is handled on the initial trap to the memory
manager caused by INT instructions, this API must be invoked with
an actual INT 2F instruction instead of some simulation such as a
far call to the address in the interrupt vector table
