Int 21h Function 23h

     An appropriate value must be placed in the FCB record size field
     (offset 0Eh) before calling this function. There is no default
     record size for this function. Compare with the FCB-related open
     and create functions (Int 21h Functions 0Fh and 16h), which
     initialize the FCB for a default record size of 128 bytes.
 
     The record size field can be set to 1 to find the size of the file
     in bytes.
 
     Because record numbers are zero based, this function can be used
     to position the FCB's file pointer to the end-of-file.
