I've heard rumor that MS-DOS 5.0 might not support the INT 21H function
3701H set switchar.  Maybe if enough people voice their opinions to
Microsoft this will be left in.  I can see no reason to remove this
function and several to leav it in.  If this function is removed
MS-DOS will lose a degree of portability.  Any program written to
use this function will not work.  Also this function makes it easier
for people to migrate between operating systems.  I personally don't
believe that there is any justification for the removal of this choice!
