allocmem()               Allocate DOS Memory Segment
 
 #include   <dos.h>
 
 int        allocmem(size,seg);
 unsigned   size;                        Size in paragraphs
 unsigned   *seg;                        Pointer to segment address
 
    allocmem() allocates a block of free memory via the MS-DOS system
    call 0x48.  The segment address of the allocated block is returned.
    'size' is the desired size in paragraphs. 'seg' is a pointer to the
    word to be assigned the segment address of the allocated block.  If
    there is not enough room, no assignment is made.
 
    Returns:    -1 is returned on success.  On error, a value
                representing the size of the largest available block is
                returned.
 
       Note:    All allocated blocks are paragraph aligned.
 
                Use freemem() to free memory allocated by allocmem().
