rt with those bytes (0xC3 is x86 for RET). The extended
sequence 0xC3 0x00 0x00 also rules out CP/M-80 COM files, which might start
with 0xC3 but won't follow that with two zeroes.

For argv/argc parsing, it depends exactly how the author of your compiler
implemented it. For example, Pacific C doesn't do anything special with
quoted strings. This program:
DOS.
Rather than jumping straight in with VGA emulation, why not start with
MDA? Just a single 25x80 text mode, and many fewer BIOS functions.

My recollection, possibly faulty, is that Intel chose 801586 because
Windows NT refused to boot on an 80886 (it only checked the bottom 3 bits
of the family number and though
real-memory move copies [cs:wTableSize] words, but should
copy [cs:wTableSize] bytes.

This is less than ideal. If the version in the OEM ID is less than 3.3,
MS-DOS ignores the BPB.
