Compatibility: 4.0+

Expects: AX    b706H

Returns: CF    Carry Flag clear (NC) if no error

BX    current APPEND.EXE option settings (see below)

Info: This obtains the APPEND option flags which affect how APPEND

operates:

BX On return, BX contains the settings as follows:

AppendOptsRec

1 1 1 1 1

 5 4 3 2 1-  1 0 

 x e p 0 0...0 n 

                  bit   mask

                   0: 0001H enabled (0=APPEND is disabled)

                  13: 2000H /PATH:ON option is in effect

                  14: 4000H /E option is in effect

                  15: 8000H /X:ON option is in effect

bit 0 is always 1 (if APPEND is loaded), unless a program has used

INT 2fH b707H to clear this bit and thereby disable APPEND.

bit 13 When /PATH:ON is in effect, APPEND will search the APPEND

directories for a file, even if a path was given in the filespec.

bit 14 When /E is in effect, APPEND maintains a copy of the append path

in the DOS Environment (in the form APPEND=path;path;...)

bit 14 When /X:ON is in effect, APPEND will search the APPEND path for

DOS fns that execute programs (such as 4b00H) and for fns that

search for files (4eH)  When bit 15 is 0, APPEND searches only

for file open requests (3dH and 6cH).

Notes: You may change settings and/or disable APPEND altogether via

INT 2fH b707H (set APPEND options).
