In the April 1990 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal was an implementation in C and
assembler, although it could probably be converted to your favorite
language.  The basic algorithm is very straightfoward, it uses on
undocumented interrupt to walk down the MCB (memory control block) chain.

Hope this help!
