- you should know - there is two type of API functions
- old type - call convention Far16 Pascal
- new type - call convention Near32 C
- so DosGetCp is Far16 Pascal
- DosQueryCp is Near32 C
- they do almost the same
- for your reference DosGetCp is ordinal 130 and DosQueryCp is ordinal 291
- very often C function is implemented as wrapper to Pascal - that is why we have an issue with hi mem addresses (Pascal function can use firs 512M only)
