AX = 4310h
Return:
ES:BX -> driver entry point (see #02749,#02750,#02753,#02760,#02769,#02774)
Notes: HIMEM.SYS v2.77 chains to previous handler if AH is not 00h or 10h. HIMEM.SYS requires at least 256 bytes free stack space when calling the driver entry point
See Also: AX=4300h - AX=4310h"Cloaking" - AX=4310h"Netroom" - AX=4310h"XMZ"
Format of XMS driver entry point: Offset Size Description (Table 02749) 00h 5 BYTEs jump to actual handler either short jump (EBh XXh) followed by three NOPs or far jump (EAh XXXX:XXXX) to a program which has hooked itself into the XMS driver chain
Note: To hook into the XMS driver chain, a program should follow the chain of far jumps until it reaches the short jump of the driver at the end of the chain; this short jump is to be replaced with a far jump to the new handler's entry point, which should contain a short jump followed by three NOPs. The new handler must return to the address pointed at by the short jump which was overwritten. Using this method, the new handler becomes the first to see every XMS request.
