<pre><b>INT 21 - DOS 2+ - ALLOCATE MEMORY</b>

	AH = 48h
	BX = number of paragraphs to allocate
Return: CF clear if successful
	    AX = segment of allocated block
	CF set on error
	    AX = error code (07h,08h) (see <a href=../../it/80/16.html>#01680</a> at AH=59h/BX=0000h)
	    BX = size of largest available block
Notes:	DOS 2.1-6.0 coalesces free blocks while scanning for a block to
	  allocate
	.COM programs are initially allocated the largest available memory
	  block, and should free some memory with AH=49h before attempting any
	  allocations
	under the FlashTek X-32 DOS extender, EBX contains a protected-mode
	  near pointer to the allocated block on a successful return
