From RB:
   .COM-format executables begin running with the following register
     values:
      AL = 00h if first FCB has valid drive letter, FFh if not
      AH = 00h if second FCB has valid drive letter, FFh if not
      CS,DS,ES,SS = PSP segment
      SP = offset of last word available in first 64K segment
      (note: AX is always 0000h under DESQview)
