Dan Kegel 3/87.

Information on the INT 10h functions supported by the EGA BIOS was derived
from the article "Graphic Enhancement" found in the April 1985 _PC Tech
Journal_, pages 58ff., and is marked with the string (EGA). jrh.

Quarterdeck's flyer on its overpriced API specs and tools provided sufficient
clues as to functionality to allow figuring out a large number of DESQview
INT 15h calls.

he'd given this list more credit than
   "various text files downloaded from BBS systems - INTERRUP.ARC, BIOSDOS.ZOO,
   DOSINFO.ARC, DOSERROR.DOC, DOSTIPS.TXT, etc."
considering that most of his interrupt listing is derived from this one (a
majority of that with only formatting changes), AND he's asking a $15 shareware
registration [newer versions do give better credit].
