Switches are preceded with / and may be given with either the full
name or the abbreviation (where present). For DV.EXE and QEMM.SYS,
switches which accept arguments may use either an equal sign '=' or
a colon ':' between the switch and its argument.
DV.EXE switches (documented and otherwise) updated for Version 2.40:

[1] somewhat buggy in 2.31, as DV.EXE will use the specified multiplex
number, but DVXMS.DVR (which DV.EXE loads) still uses the default
DEh if no XDI drivers were loaded prior to DV.
[2] /HW is immediately followed by a colon or an equal sign, 1 to 4 hex
digits, another colon or equal sign, and "L", "D", "F", "0", "M",
"U", or "V" (DV 2.3+). "F" = Foreground, "V" = Virtualize
[3] /FB, /FO, /SB, and /SO are immediately followed by a colon or an
equal sign and 1 to 4 hex digits
[4] /MR and /MT expect a hex number (/MR up to 4 digits, /MT up to 2 digits)
[5] DV uses two banks of eight interrupts to relocate the hardware interrupts
from their defaults of 08h-0Fh and 70h-77h. /XB specifies that a
particular bank of interrupts not be considered available for the
relocation; the specified hex number must be a multiple of 8 (i.e. X0 or
X8).
