DR DOS 5.0+ NLSFUNC - PREPARE CODE PAGE

AX = 14FFh
BX = code page (see #01757 at INT 21/AX=6602h)

Return:
AX = ??? ZF set if AX=0000h

Notes: DR DOS 5.0 NLSFUNC returns CF set and AX=0001h if AL was not 00h, FEh, or FFh on entry.. Passes codepage preparation request to each character device supporting the generic IOCTL call

BUG: DR DOS 5.0 NLSFUNC 3.00 - Novell DOS 7 NLSFUNC 3.03, and OpenDOS 7.01 - DR-OpenDOS 7.02 NLSFUNC 3.02 requires DF cleared on entry, otherwise the system may crash. However, since this function is called only by the BDOS, the problem never actually occurs. DR-DOS 7.02/7.03 NLSFUNC 4.00+ always clears DF by itself.
