Function 23h (35) Get File Size, Using FCBs
Returns the number of records in a file.
On entry: AH 23h
DS:DX Pointer to an unopened FCB
Returns: AL 00h If matching file found

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This function reports the size of a file as a number of records
(rounded up). The number of records is returned in the random-record
field (offset 21h) of the FCB.
Notes: Before calling, you must set the record-size field
(offset 0Eh) in the FCB. To determine the size of
the file in bytes, set the record-size field to 1.
To determine a file's size using the new-style
handle functions, use LSEEK (function 42h) to seek
to the end of the file.
