Function 55h "Used Internally by DOS" - Create "Child" PSP
* Create PSP: similar to function 26h (which creates a new Program
Segment Prefix at segment in DX) except creates a "child" PSP
rather than copying the existing one.
entry AH 55h
DX segment number at which to create new PSP.
return unknown
note 1) This call is similar to call 26h which creates a PSP except that unlike
call 26h the segment address of the parent process is obtained from the
current process ID rather than from the CS value on the stack (from the
INT 21h call). DX has the new PSP value and SI contains the value to be
placed into PSP:2 (top of memory).
2) Function 55 is merely a substitute for function 26h. It will copy the
current PSP to the segment address DX with the addition that SI is
assumed to hold the new memory top segment. This means that function
26h sets SI to the segment found in the current PSP and then calls
function 55h.
