Int 10 Fn FE - Topview - Get Shadow Buffer [V]
AH = FEh
ES:DI -> assumed video buffer
B800h:0000h color text/CGA graphics, B000h:0000h mono text,
or A000h:0000h EGA/VGA graphics (RSIS environments only)
Return: ES:DI -> actual video buffer for calling process
Desc: Determine the address of the virtual screen to which the program
should write instead of the actual video memory; this permits
programs to be multitasked without interfering with each other's
output, and allows memory managers to move the video memory to
permit larger programs to be loaded.
Notes: if no multitasker or RSIS-compliant environment is installed, ES:DI is
returned unchanged; RSIS is the Relocated Screen Interface
Specification
for display pages other than 0, use AH=05h and AH=0Fh to determine
whether a particular page exists
TopView requires a call to AH=FFh to notify it that the screen has
changed; DESQview will check for changes itself until the first call
to AH=FFh
