According to the MS DOS documentation I have, only the lower MS DOS functions
(up to call 0ch) can be called from a device driver function (to prevent
DOS reentrancy).

I have heard roumors that other functions might be called from the INIT
function of a device driver. An author of a QEMM386-like program uses
the Exec function call from the INIT function without problems.

Does anybody know what function I can call from the INIT function in a
device driver?
