Int 21 Fn 16 - DOS 1+ - Create Or Truncate File Using Fcb [D]
AH = 16h
DS:DX -> unopened FCB (see AH=0Fh), wildcards not allowed
Return: AL = status
00h successful
FFh directory full or file exists and is read-only or locked
Notes: if file already exists, it is truncated to zero length
if an extended FCB is used, the file is given the attribute in the
FCB; this is how to create a volume label in the disk's root dir
not supported by MS Windows 3.0 DOSX.EXE DOS extender
