Switches are preceded with / unless otherwise specified and may be given
with either the full name or the abbreviation (where present).	Switches
which accept arguments may use either an equal sign '=' or a colon ':'
between the switch and its argument.

[1] somewhat buggy in 2.31, as DV.EXE will use the specified multiplex
    number, but DVXMS.DVR (which DV.EXE loads) still uses the default
    DEh if no XDI drivers were loaded prior to DV.

[2] /HW is immediately followed by a colon or an equal sign, 1 to 4 hex
    digits indicating the interrupt number, another colon or equal sign,
    and "L", "D", "F", "0", "M", "U", or "V" (DV 2.3+).  "F" = Foreground,
    "V" = Virtualize video (program writes to screen from within hardware
    interrupt handler), "0"/"L" deal with disabling DV's handling of an IRQ.

    This switch is designed to accomodate failings in DOS application
    programs which violate Quarterdeck's view of "standard" programming
    procedures (though at least one variant is to correct a failing in
    DV itself, but QOS will not divulge which).

[3] /FB, /FO, /SB, and /SO are immediately followed by a colon or an
    equal sign and 1 to 4 hex digits

[4] /MR and /MT expect a hex number (/MR up to 4 digits, /MT up to 2 digits)

[5] DV uses two banks of eight interrupts to relocate the hardware interrupts
    from their defaults of 08h-0Fh and 70h-77h.  /XB specifies that a
    particular bank of interrupts not be considered available for the
    relocation; the specified hex number must be a multiple of 8 (i.e. X0 or
    X8).

    ST:F switches between them by remapping the EMS page frame, and the
    undocumented ST:P switches using an unknown method which is reported to
    be slower than either ST:F or ST:M
