What is the proper way to calculate the total amount of RAM installed
on a Macintosh?  I was using the following:

	long totalRAM;

		totalRAM = (long)TopMem()/1024;

This worked fine with System/Finder 4.1/5.5, but gives me too small
of a number (e.g., 179 instead of 1024) when run under MultiFinder.

BTW, I'm doing this from inside a DA.

Any pointers/clues are much appreciated!
