I'll check it up for you if you're actually wanting exact methods of 
doing it, but basically I called a DOS interrupts service (int 21h, func 
48h I think) with the required size set to 1000h (because each block is 
16 bytes). It returns the segment number. You can then use function 
somethingelse to free the memory.
