If you want to pick nits, I'd have to argue that Int 5h and Int 17h
are in fact part of neither MS-DOS nor PC-DOS, but rather the PC's ROM BIOS.
Unless, of course, you consider the omnipresent ROM BIOS to be part of the
comparatively transient DOS.  Consider this: if you load some software
that takes over the system (e.g., Flight Simulator et al), MS-DOS and PC-DOS
don't exist in the system, but Int 5h and Int 17h are still available.
