SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft does not give out any information about undocumented system features.
If calls, flags, or interrupts are undocumented, it is because they are not
supported; we can give NO guarantee that they will exist in future releases of
MS-DOS. If you find out about these features (through articles or by chance) and
begin using them in your programs, there is a real potential that your
application will not work in future MS-DOS versions.

We strongly advise against using undocumented features for these reasons and will
give out no information about their use.
