Subject:	int86x fails
Reply-To:	kagel AT ts1 DOT bloomberg DOT com

I am porting MicroEmacs to DJGPP.  The executable crashes during startup
trying to get the interrupt vector for the mouse so that the code can check
for the mouse driver.  The call that is causing the crash is int86x()
calling the bios get interrupt vector function (0x35 ?? whatever) to get
the vector for interrupt 0x33.  I guess I could replace the call with a
call to the go32 get interrupt vector function (I forget the function right
now) but am concerned that other int86x() calls will bomb (there are
SEVERAL).  

Does anyone have any experience with int86x() failing? succeeding?  Am I
worrying needlessly?  Please reply directly to me and I will summarize
anything useful and will at least post the upshot of the discussion.
