Format of DOS memory control block:
Offset Size Description )
00h BYTE block type: 5Ah if last block in chain, otherwise 4Dh
01h WORD PSP segment of owner or special flag value (see #01629)
03h WORD size of memory block in paragraphs
05h 3 BYTEs unused by MS-DOS
(386MAX) if locked-out block, region start/prev region end
---DOS 2.x,3.x---
08h 8 BYTEs unused
---DOS 4.0+ ---
08h 8 BYTEs ASCII program name if PSP memory block or DR DOS UMB,
else garbage
null-terminated if less than 8 characters
Notes: the next MCB is at segment (current + size + 1)
under DOS 3.1+, the first memory block is the DOS data segment,
containing installable drivers, buffers, etc. Under DOS 4.0+ it is
divided into subsegments, each with its own memory control block
(see #01633), the first of which is at offset 0000h.
for DOS 5+, blocks owned by DOS may have either "SC" or "SD" in bytes
08h and 09h. "SC" is system code or locked-out inter-UMB memory,
"SD" is system data, device drivers, etc.
Some versions of DR DOS use only seven characters of the program name,
placing a NUL in the eighth byte.
