            INT 21,4A - Modify Allocated Memory Block  (SETBLOCK)


       AH = 4A
       BX = new requested block size in paragraphs
       ES = segment of the block (MCB + 1 para)


       on return:
       AX = error code if CF set  (see DOS ERROR CODES)
       BX = maximum block size possible, if CF set and AX = 8


       - modifies memory blocks allocated by  INT 21,48
       - can be used by programs to shrink or increase the size
         of allocated memory
       - PC-DOS version 2.1 and DOS 3.x will actually allocate the largest
         available block if CF is set.  BX will equal the size allocated.
       - see also  INT 21,49
