DOS 2+ - CREAT - CREATE OR TRUNCATE FILE

AH = 3Ch
CX = file attributes (see #01401)
DS:DX -> ASCIZ filename

Return:
CF clear if successful AX = file handle CF set on error AX = error code (03h,04h,05h) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)

Notes: If a file with the given name exists, it is truncated to zero length. Under the FlashTek X-32 DOS extender, the pointer is in DS:EDX. DR DOS checks the system password or explicitly supplied password at the end of the filename against the reserved field in the directory entry before allowing access
