From Ray Duncan "Advanced MS-DOS", Microsoft Press, 1986.
Int 21H, function 11H
"Buffer at current disk transfert area (DTA) address set up an
unopened normal FCB or extended FCB, depending upon which type
of FCB was input to function."
and
"It is very important to use function 1AH to set the DTA to
point to a buffer of adequate size before using this call."
Hope that's help.
