Apology: the above applied only to the 3rd party SHARE, from ROMDOS iirc.

Correct, and it (Share.exe from DOS 6.2, version control hacked) does insert itself into the vectors starting at offset 90h inside of the DOS 7.0 data segment.

I give up : I'll be using Geoff Chappell's method to find the DOS CS, even if it makes DOS flush disk buffers for no apparent reason

I'm still waiting for you to show how you do this in practice
