Well, not "call", but "pass down". When you install your exception handler,
you save its old value, and when your handler decides to not to handle the
exception, it simply does a jmp to the address pointed to by the old vector.
I cannot imagine how this could create problems.

Because I need a vector-font GDOS. So I need to use NVDI. This only works
when NVDI is loaded after the fVDI. And NVDI can only be loaded from the
auto folder.
