BLINKER EXTMEM BLOCK Specify extended memory allocation block size
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose : Specify the extended memory allocation block size
Syntax : BLINKER EXTMEM BLOCK <nuSize>
Default : 256
Example : # Allocate in 512KB blocks
BLINKER EXTMEM BLOCK 512
This command specifies the memory block size (in KB) used by the extender
when allocating extended memory blocks. When running in protected mode, the
extender allocates memory from the host in blocks of the specified size and
manages these blocks itself.
When a DOS extended program requests memory, it is allocated memory from
these extender managed blocks, rather than directly from the host. Programs
which allocate large amounts of memory may benefit from a larger block size
than the 256 KB default.
Note also that the BLINKER environment variable setting /EBnnnn will
override this function.
