The emm386 versus int 67 discussion: pushf/callfar must be and is okay

Hi,
I just wanted to point out that the int 67 trick is also part of
FD emm386, quote from the sources:

DUMMY_CALL:                                ; Falls Software (u.a. TURBO Pascal
                INT     67H                ; Programme) auf die Idee kommt, via
                IRET                       ; CS:IP aus der Interrupt-Tabelle den
                        ; EMM aufzurufen, EMM nun tatsaechlich
                        ; aufrufen !


So yes, it IS a kludge. But it was not introduced because MS would love to
do weird things. It was introduced because some programs DO USE the pushf/
call far method to simulate interrupts, and emm386 DOES HAVE TO be compatible
to them. Luckily, all three of DR-DOS, MS and FreeDOS emm386 use the kludge.
One of the programs that would not work otherwise is, funny enough, Turbo
Pascal.
