This is not quite the answer to the question asked but it may be
useful/helpful.  I needed to know how much memory was available to my
application both stand-alone and under MF.  The following works (MPW C):

	THz save_my_zone;
	Size my_allotment;

	save_my_zone = GetZone();
	SetZone(ApplicZone());
	(void) MaxMem(&my_allotment);
	SetZone(save_my_zone);

This sets "my_allotment" to the number of bytes available.  Note that it
only works if you are asking about the original application zone (or so
says IM - I have not played with it extensively).
