Surely somebody has already produced a nice round wheel, preferably already
equipped with pneumatic tire, for this:  I'd like a program that could log
and display all calls to DOS (and BIOS?) interrupts, under user control.
It should decode the call and arguments to explain what's really being 
requested.  Most recently I wanted this to determine why a badly-written
program was failing; ultimately the solution turned out to be that it was
looking for a file that wasn't there, and not doing anything useful with the
failure.  With a program like this, I could scan for file opens, and look at
the last one before the failure to quickly determine the problem.

PD, shareware, commercial would all be fine with me.  Please netmail and
I'll summarize if there's interest.  Thanks!
