EXCEPTION HANDLING EXAMPLES
There are many approaches to writing exception handlers. One useful technique is to consider the
exception handler procedure
as consisting of "prologue," "body," and "epilogue" sections of code. (For
compatibility with the 80287 emulators, this procedure should be invoked by interrupt pointer (vector)
number 16.)
