I am the proud owner of a new IBM PC, complete with a Keytronics
KB5150 keyboard, which I like very much.  Therefore I have one
new, unused (except to make sure it works) IBM keyboard for the
PC available for sale or to trade for hardware of comparable value.
Anyone interested?

Well, the Allocate Memory call should work, but first, you have to perform 
a Modify Allocated Blocks call because COMMAND.COM sets each program to have
the entire free memory space allocated to it before it starts to execute.  
In this way, programs written under 1.0 MS-DOS won't totally foul up the
memory allocation scheme.
