There's no need to do that in this case - Ralph's Interrupt List has
all the answers:
--------------------
Interrupt Helper v1.0 W-2F1684BX0750
INT 2F - MS Windows - VSWITCHD - GET DEVICE API ENTRY POINT
AX = 1684h
BX = 0750h (virtual device ID for VSWITCHD device) (see #1921)
ES:DI = 0000h:0000h
Return: ES:DI -> VxD API entry point (see #1935)
0000h:0000h if the VxD does not support an API
(Table 1935)
Call VSWITCHD entry point with:
AX = function
0000h toggle windowed mode (simulate Alt-Enter keypress)
Return: nothing
0001h get windowed mode
Return: CF clear if VM is windowed
CF set if VM is full-screen
----------------
INT 2F - MS Windows - WINDOWS ENHANCED MODE INSTALLATION CHECK
AX = 1600h
Return: AL = status
00h neither Windows 3.x enhanced mode nor Windows/386 2.x
running
01h Windows/386 2.x running
80h XMS version 1 driver installed (neither Windows 3.x enhanced
mode nor Windows/386 2.x running) (obsolete--see note)
FFh Windows/386 2.x running
AL = anything else
AL = Windows major version number >= 3
AH = Windows minor version number
Notes: INT 2F/AH=16h comprises an API for non-Windows programs (DOS
device drivers, TSRs, and applications) to cooperate with multitasking
Windows/386 2.x and Windows 3.x and higher enhanced mode.
Certain calls are also supported in the Microsoft 80286 DOS extender in
Windows standard mode this function served as the installation check
and AX=1610h served to get the driver entry point for XMS version 1, which is now
obsolete. Use AX=4300h and AX=4310h instead
SeeAlso: AX=160Ah,AX=1610h,AX=4300h,AX=4680h
Index: installation check;XMS version 1
=================================================
How much longer can I howl into this wind?
How much longer can I cry like this?
A thousand wasted hours a day just to feel my heart
for a second... A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second
