INT 7C - SK-UPPS/SK-PASSPORT Data Link Interface (DLI) API(Application Program[ming] Interface) The defined set of calls which a program may make to interact with or request services of the operating system or environment under which it is running. Because the inputs and outputs of the calls are well-defined, a program using the API can continue using the identical calls even if the internal organization of the program providing the API changes. Program: SK-UPPS is the Schneider & Koch Universal Portable Protocol Stack, which provides an API(Application Program[ming] Interface) The defined set of calls which a program may make to interact with or request services of the operating system or environment under which it is running.

InstallCheck: test for the ASCII signature string "UPPS_DLI" immediately preceding the interrupt handler Notes: To find the service interrupt being used by the driver, an application should scan through the interrupt table until it finds an interrupt vector with the "UPPS_DLI" string. There may be more than one DLI loaded, each having its own service interrupt. SeeAlso: AX=0000h,AX=0002h,AX=000Fh Index: installation check;SK-UPPS
