DPMI 0.9+ - GET FREE MEMORY INFORMATION

AX = 0500h
ES:(E)DI -> buffer for memory information (see #03155)

Return:
CF clear

Notes: 16-bit programs use ES:DI, 32-bit programs use ES:EDI. This function must be considered advisory because other applications may affect the results at any time after the call. Fields not supported by the DPMI implementation are filled with FFFFFFFFh. DPMI 1.0+ supports this function solely for backward compatibility; use AX=050Bh instead. The limited DPMI host built into Phar Lap's 286|DOS-Extender v2.5 only returns the first field in the memory information record
