With one function call, I don't think so, but you should be able to copy
the file to the destination with a temporary name, delete the old file,
and then rename the new one with the filename from the old one.  You
should be able to do all of this, including assigning the temporary name
(if I'm correct) with INT 21 BIOS calls.

>	2 - How can a program find out what kind of processor and how

Gee, can't help you much here.  Looking at some Intel hardware manuals
might help you on this one.
