MS-DOS provides a handy EXEC call to execute another program and then return
to the calling program, but how can I do the simpler task of quiting execution
of a program (freeing the memory) making DOS execute another program?  I have
done this chaining in CP/M, but am at a loss of how to do it in MS-DOS.
