the problem is
function MCBAlloc ( para: word ) : word;
var allocs,f,m: word;
mov ah, $58 { set alloc strategy }
mov al, 1
xor bh,bh
>>> mov bl, $41
int $21
using 'best fit' is virtually ALWAYS a bug for a TSR
solution 1) use some buffer in the program, at the end of the TSR
code. use/resize this buffer as needed
solution 2) use
mov bl, $82 last fit, try high then low memory
this allocates memory from top, but doesn't create holes.
unfortunately I'm not able to compile this; awaiting the maintainer
to fix this bug
