Int 21 Fn 50 - Dos 2+ Internal - Set Current Process Id (set Psp Address [D]
AH = 50h
BX = segment of PSP for new process
Notes: DOS uses the current PSP address to determine which processes own files
and memory; it corresponds to process identifiers used by other OSs
under DOS 2.x, this function cannot be invoked inside an INT 28h
handler without setting the Critical Error flag
under MS-DOS 3.0+ and DR DOS 3.41+, this function does not use any of
the DOS-internal stacks and may thus be called at any time, even
during another INT 21h call
some Microsoft applications such as Quick C 2.51 use segments of 0000h
and FFFFh and direct access to the SDA (see #1373 at AX=5D06h) to
test whether they are running under MS-DOS rather than a compatible
OS; although one should only call this function with valid PSP
addresses, any program hooking it should be prepared to handle
invalid addresses
this function is supported by the OS/2 compatibility box
this call was undocumented prior to the release of DOS 5.0
