       TC: int absread( int drive, int count, int start, void *buffer )


       - prototype in dos.h

       - reads absolute logical disk sectors
       - drive = (0=A:, 1=B:, 2=C:, ...)
       - count = # of sectors to read
       - start = beginning logical sector number
       - buffer = address of buffer
       - TC++ accounts for DOS 4.x+ long sector values while TC 2.0 and
         earlier do not (see INT 25)
       - returns 0 if OK; -1 on error; errno has DOS error number
