DOS 3.3+ Installable command - Install check
Entry:
AX = AE00h
DX = FFFFh ???
DS:BX -> command line:
Return:
AL = FFh if this command is a TSR extension to COMMAND.COM
AL = 00h if the command should be executed as usual
Note: This apparently provides a mechanism for TSRs to install
permanent extensions to the command repertoire of COMMAND.COM.
It appears that COMMAND.COM makes this call before executing
the current command line, and does not execute it itself if
the return is FFh.
Format of command line:
Offset Size Description
00h BYTE ??? (max length of command line,
as in INT 21/AH=0Ah ???)
01h BYTE count of bytes to follow
N BYTEs command line text, terminated by 0Dh
