I think that Matthias mentioned long time ago that some updates would/could be forthcoming, but he has refrained from actively participating here probably as long as I have, probably for similar reasons... >I don't know what those sources would be, I have always wished there >was more useful information on topics like VxD API functions, printer >codes or such.

I think that would be largely beyond the scope of an "Interrupt" list, even considering that for a long time additional info like memory locations and port info was included. There hasn't been any updates on DOS for longer than there haven't been any on RBIL, so I don't see why someone would seriously expect more recent releases. RBIL just as it is, is still a very valuable resource for anyone seriously interested in DOS related programming, but it seems the number of people still interested (for real) in this is far less than the number of updates for RBIL...
