Hello world,

I'm writing a program in TurboPascal v5 and have, since I'm a novice
at the PC's memory limitations, encountered a problem (at least I think
it could be a problem :-)). How do I know how much of the computers
memory a program is going to use (no dynamic allocation), and how does
one go about to test this? I'd like the program to do something like
"if mem_avail > size_of(this_program) then begin(program) else error(message)"
I have some ideas of how to do, but I don't know how to create the
environment to test them in :-) I've read the manual, yes, but I found
no hints there unless I've missed the same page(s) every time. Also, I'm
sorry if this isn't the appropriate newsgroup.

thank you! - Tobbe
