Int 31 Fn 0501 P - DPMI 0.9+ - Allocate Memory Block [E]
AX = 0501h
BX:CX = size in bytes
Return: CF clear if successful
BX:CX = linear address of block
SI:DI = memory block handle for resizing and freeing block
CF set on error
AX = error code (DPMI 1.0+) (8012h-8014h,8016h,8021h)(see AX=0000h)
Notes: no selectors are allocated
the memory block is allocated unlocked (can be locked with AX=0600h)
allocations are often page granular (see AX=0604h)
under MS Windows 3.10 Enhanced mode with paging enabled, it is possible
for this function to fail even if AX=0500h indicates that enough
memory is available
