Yes, sorry, temporary brain melt. I meant it's not DISPLAY.SYS (like in other DOSes) but instead an incomplete TSR / .EXE combo. Hence Aitor doesn't even pretend to support IOCTL calls via int 21h 440Ch and only instead relies upon "standard" (undocumented) int 2Fh AD02h from MS-DOS until (if?) he finishes it.

EDIT: Oops, almost made another mistake, heh.
