NAME
INT86 sets registers and generates interrupt from keyboard
SYNOPSIS
int86 [,] ...
DESCRIPTION
Values can be start with 0x for hexidecimal, 0 for octal or
default to decimal. A number not equated to a register will be used
as the interrupt number.
This program permits the user to set the CPU registers and generate
DOS and BIOS interrupts directly from the keyboard. It is very usuful
when trying to see what values are returned in what registers. I have
found it to be an excellent teaching tool for learning about
interrupts and DOS service functions. Returns are in decimal, hexdecimal
and binary. Byte and word configurations are shown.
EXAMPLE
The best way to learn about int86 is to try using it.
int86 33 ah=42
vec=33 (21h)

carry flag: set
In this example the DOS service interrupt (decimal 33) was requested.
The DOS function call to function 42 (decimal) was placed in ah.
This request the date to be returned.
Upon return for the interrupt cx has the year (1988)
dh has the month (11) dl has the day (03) and al has a 4 for the day of the
week (Thursday). The return status of the carry flag is also shown.
This routine may also look for the current setup of your machine,
show availible memory or set screen attributes. Be very careful when
setting registers. Un predicible things may happen if you make a
mistake. Check with any guide to DOS functions and BIOS calls for
what registers to load.
