INT 21 - European MSDOS 4.0 - "GETPID" - GET PROCESS IDENTIFIER
AH = 87h
Return: AX = PID
BX = parent process's PID
CX = Command Subgroup ID (CSID)
Desc: determine an identifier by which to access the calling process
Notes: called by MS C v5.1 getpid() function
this function apparently must return AX=0001h for INT 21/AH=80h to
succeed
one possible check for European MSDOS 4.0 is to issue this call with
AL=00h and check whether AL is nonzero on return
