The Turbo Pascal built-in procedure MemAvail returns the number of free bytes
as a Longint value.  The built-in procedure MaxAvail returns a similar value,
but is the total amount of memory in the system.  MaxAvail - MemAvail is the
total amount of memory your system and application (and TSRs, etc) are using. 
Its all in the manual... or in the editor, type MemAvail or MaxAvail and press
Ctrl/F1 for some brief help.
