Hi.  I hope I'm doing this correctly.  My reference manual says
not to use INT 25 due to it is unrealiable.  What "The programmers
PC source book, Thom Hogan, second edition" suggests is
Function 440d Minor Code 61h of Interrupt 21h.  I KNOW it works
for dos 5.0, but have not tested on lower versions.  Hope it helps
