Memory management constant - INCL_DOSMEMMGR

   @DosAllocSeg - Allocates a segment of memory
   Parameters - Size:W, Selector:PW, AllocFlags:W

   @DosReallocSeg - Changes the size of an allocated segment
   Parameters - Size:W, Selector:W

   @DosFreeSeg - Deallocates a segment
   Parameters - Selector:W

   @DosGiveSeg - Gives another process access to a shared memory segment
   Parameters - CallerSegHandle:W, ProcessID:W, RecipientSegHandle:PW

   @DosGetSeg - Gets access to a shared memory segment
   Parameters - Selector:W

   @DosAllocHuge - Allocates memory potentially requiring multiple segments
   Parameters - NumSeg:W, Size:W, Selector:PW, ShareInd:W, MaxNumSeg:W

   @DosReallocHuge - Changes memory amount previously allocated by
                     DosAllocHuge
   Parameters - NumSet:W, Size:W, Selector:W

   @DosGetHugeShift - Returns a shift count used to derive selectors to
                      huge memory allocated with DosAllocHuge
   Parameters - ShiftCount:PW

   @DosAllocShrSeg - Allocates a shared memory segment
   Parameters - Size:W, Name:PZ, Selector:PW

   @DosLockSeg - Locks a discardable segment in memory
   Parameters - Selector:W

   @DosUnlockSeg - Unlocks a discardable segment
   Parameters - Selector:W

   @DosGetShrSeg - Allows a process to access a previously allocated shared
                   memory segment and increments the segment reference count
   Parameters - Name:PZ, Selector:PW

   @DosMemAvail - Returns the size of the largest block of free memory
   Parameters - MemAvailSize:PD

   @DosCreateCSAlias - Creates an executable alias for a data type descriptor
                       passed as input
   Parameters - DataSelector:W, CodeSelector:PW

   @DosSubAlloc - Allocates memory from within a segment that was previously
                  allocated and initialized with DosSubSet
   Parameters - SegSelector:W, BlockOffset:PW, Size:W

   @DosSubFree - Frees memory previously allocated with DosSubAlloc
   Parameters - SegSelector:W, BlockOffset:W, Size:W

   @DosSubSet - Initializes a segment for suballocation, or changes the size
                of a previous suballocation
   Parameters - SegSelector:W, BlockOffset:W, Size:W
