I don't see how a call to msdos/intr could be 'non essential' (if they
would be, then why are they in te program? :). And even though a program
could run for a while calling dummy mark/release procedures, it would
eventually consume so much RAM the system would become unusable.

Putting a warning in a source only shows that warning while compiling the
source (so you'd only see this warning while compiling the Dos unit). And
it's only shown if you've turned warnings on. Calling an unsupported
function is an error imho, not a "possible error" (which is what a
warning indicates)
