;* Finds the filename of an open file when given its handle.  The two DOS
;* functions are undocumented.  I found these while disassembling the
;* "Darth Vader" virus.  If you remove the error check after the first
;* function call, replace it with a dummy instruction such as "xor bh,bh".
;* McAfee's virus scanner (and probably others) uses this piece of code to
;* identify the Darth Vader virus. (!)  For descriptions of these
;* functions, see "Undocumented DOS" or Ralf Brown's INT list.
