Int 15 Fn 1001 - Topview - "getmem" - Allocate "system" Memory [Q]
AX = 1001h
BX = number of bytes to allocate
Return: ES:DI -> block of memory or 0000h:0000h (DV v2.26+)
AX = status (DV v2.42)
0000h successful
0001h failed
Note: use SETERROR (AX=DE15h) to avoid a user prompt if there is insufficient
common memory. Under DV v2.42, this call never generates a user
prompt regardless of the SETERROR value; instead, it always returns
AX=0001h and ES:DI=0000h:0000h if out of memory
