<p><b>Notes:</b>
The Set subfunction accepts any value in BL for DOS 3.x and 4.x;
2 or greater means last fit.
The Get subfunction returns the last value set.
Setting an allocation strategy involving high memory does not
automatically link in the UMB memory chain; this must be done
explicitly with AX=5803h in order to actually allocate high memory.
A program which changes the allocation strategy should restore it
before terminating.
Toshiba MS-DOS v2.11 supports subfunctions 00h and 01h, as does the
TI Professional MS-DOS v2.13.
DR DOS 3.41 reportedly reverses subfunctions 00h and 01h
