- ; ASM88 FILE: FUN42H.A Move File Pointer
- ; ----------
- ; WRITTEN: 25/10/87
- ; -------
- ; PURPOSE: This is one of a series of files which take
- ; ------- advantage of INT 21H functions under MS-DOS.
- ; In each case the error situation is marked by
- ; the carry flag being set. We use the De Smet
- ; external variable '_carryf' to see whether the
- ; carry is set on return from the function.
- ; If so, the error code can be used to obtain
- ; information about the specific error.
- ;
- ; USAGE: long FUN42H(handle, code, num, &_carryf)
- ; ----- int handle;
- ; int code; (tells how to move pointer)
- ; long num; (number of bytes to move pointer)
- ; char *_carryf;
- ;
- ; DEPENDENCIES: De Smet C V 2.44+
