I have tried without much success to find a way of discovering from
a program what the current DOS switch character is.  I am working
with a C compiler and assembler that have no MS-DOS library support
other than what I've written for them, so knowing I can call a
library function in someone's support library doesn't help.  I need
to know at the assembly language level how to dig up the
information.

If anyone knows or knows an authoratitive source of this and other
arcane PC information, I'd appreciate a pointer in the right
direction.
