Int 21/AH=70h

MS-DOS 7 (Windows95) - GET/SET INTERNATIONALIZATION INFORMATION

AH = 70h
AL = subfunction
00h get ??? info
CX = buffer size (3Ah bytes needed)
ES:DI -> buffer
01h set above info
CX = number of bytes to set
DS:SI -> buffer containing ??? info (see #01774)
02h set general internationalization info (see also AX=6500h)
DS:SI -> buffer containing info (see #01775)
CX = buffer size in bytes (up to 26h bytes used)
first three bytes are skipped, the rest is copied to somewhere
in the DOS data segment

Return:
CF clear if successful
ES:DI buffer filled (func 00h) (see #01774)
CX = number of bytes actually set or returned
(max 003Ah for functions 00h and 01h under v7.00, 0026h for
function 02h)
CF set on error
AX = error code
7000h if function not supported

Format of MS-DOS v7.0 ??? table: Offset Size Description (Table 01774) 00h 58 BYTEs ??? country-specific information returned was (among others) "ENU USA GR"..."AM PM M/d/yy"...

Format of MS-DOS v7.0 internationalization table: Offset Size Description (Table 01775) 00h 3 BYTEs unused (and ignored by DOS) 03h WORD country ID (see #01400 at AH=38h) 05h WORD code page (see #01757) 07h WORD date format 09h 5 BYTEs ASCIZ currency symbol string 07h 2 BYTEs ASCIZ thousands separator 09h 2 BYTEs ASCIZ decimal separator 0Bh 2 BYTEs ASCIZ date separator 0Dh 2 BYTEs ASCIZ time separator 0Fh BYTE currency format bit 2 = set if currency symbol replaces decimal point bit 1 = number of spaces between value and currency symbol bit 0 = 0 if currency symbol precedes value 1 if currency symbol follows value 10h BYTE number of digits after decimal in currency 11h BYTE time format bit 0 = 0 if 12-hour clock 1 if 24-hour clock 12h DWORD address of case map routine (FAR CALL, AL = character to map to upper case [>= 80h]) 16h 2 BYTEs ASCIZ data-list separator 18h 10 BYTEs reserved

Note: This table has the identical format to the extended country information retrieved via AH=65h with info ID = 01h
