VxDcall VKD_Define_Paste_Mode
 
The VKD_Define_Paste_Mode service selects the virtual-machine paste mode and
specifies whether Interrupt 16h pasting can be attempted or not. Some
applications hook Interrupt 09h which often disallows pasting using
Interrupt 16h. The VKD can detect this by setting a time-out to see if any
Interrupt 16h handling is being done by the application. If not, the VKD
switches to Interrupt 09h paste.
 
If an application does some Interrupt 16h handling, but cannot support the
Interrupt 16h paste operation, a PIF bit can be set to indicate that only
Interrupt 09h pasting should be used.
