 * SvarCOM is a command-line interpreter.

 *

 * a little memory area is allocated as high as possible. it contains:

 *  - a signature (like XMS drivers do)

 *  - a routine for exec'ing programs

 *  - a "last command" buffer for input history

 *

 * when svarcom starts, it tries locating the routine in memory.

 *

 * if found:

 *   waits for user input and processes it. if execing something is required, set the "next exec" field in routine's memory and quit.

 *

 * if not found:

 *   installs it by creating a new PSP, set int 22 vector to the routine, set my "parent PSP" to the routine

 *   and quit.

 *

 * PSP structure

 * http://www.piclist.com/techref/dos/psps.htm

 *

 *

 *

 * === MCB ===

 *

 * each time that DOS allocates memory, it prefixes the allocated memory with

 * a 16-bytes structure called a "Memory Control Block" (MCB). This control

 * block has the following structure:

 *

 * Offset  Size     Description

 *   00h   byte     'M' =  non-last member of the MCB chain

 *                  'Z' = indicates last entry in MCB chain

 *                  other values cause "Memory Allocation Failure" on exit

 *   01h   word     PSP segment address of the owner (Process Id)

 *                  possible values:

 *                    0 = free

 *                    8 = Allocated by DOS before first user pgm loaded

 *                    other = Process Id/PSP segment address of owner

 *   03h  word      number of paragraphs related to this MCB (excluding MCB)

 *   05h  11 bytes  reserved

 *   10h  ...       start of actual allocated memory block
