feel free to fix this as you see fit... i want to be sure people will not take interest in this option and look it up and try using it. just enough for those already know it and still stubborn enough to use it.

/*
    bios2dump.c - Was designed to extract BIOS of your PC and save it to file.
    Usage: as argument requires DOS interrupt number in hexadecimal form.
    as output - will write 64KB file which will named: SSSS_OOOO.intXX
    where: SSSS - segment of BIOS interrupt handler
           OOOO - offset of BIOS interrupt handler
	   XX   - interrupt number which was passed as argument
