INT 21 U - DOS 3.1+ internal - SERVER FUNCTION CALL
AX = 5D00h
DS:DX -> DOS parameter list (see below)
DPL contains all register values for a call to INT 21h
Return: as appropriate for function being called
Notes: does not check AH. Out of range values will crash the system
executes using specified computer ID and process ID
sharing delay loops skipped
a special sharing mode is enabled
wildcards are enabled for DELETE (AH=41h) and RENAME (AH=56h)
an extra file attribute parameter is enabled for OPEN (AH=3Dh),
DELETE (AH=41h), and RENAME (AH=56h)
functions which take filenames require canonical names (as returned
by AH=60h); this is apparently to prevent multi-hop file forwarding
