/** int24.c
**
** Interrupt 24 Handler version 0.9
**
** When DOS has trouble accessing a peripheral it
** calls Interrupt 0x24. This is usually a pointer to
** the code in COMMAND.COM that prints the "Abort, Retry,
** Ignore" message. This is a completely portable module
** that replaces that message with a slightly more aesthetic
** one.
**
** To use it, just call install_24(). To restore the DOS
** handler, call uninstall_24(). Warning! If you ever go
** into graphics mode of some sort, uninstall this! It won't
** be able to deal with a graphics screen correctly.
**
** Note: We don't let the user ignore the error, which they shouldn't
** be doing anyway.
**
** HISTORY
** -------
** 19 Mar 90 Created JS
** 16 Apr 90 Fixed to eliminate call to bioskey, which was reentering DOS
