Your DLL will have to use a software interrupt anyway, right?  Or are you 
thinking about another way of calling it?

If it will be a software interrupt, then which one is easier to hook than 
21h?  I'm afraid all of the rest (2Fh, for example) that could be used 
for this goal are also hooked, probably by the same Virtual DOS Manager, 
because many DOS programs use functions of 2Fh.
