[comp.sys.ibm.pc] "How much memory left"? call for MS 5.1

mark@intek01.UUCP (Mark McWiggins) (07/13/89)

I tried RTFMing and don't see a handy "tell me how much memory is left"
for MS 5.1 (large model).  Does anybody know where I can get one of these?

Thanks in advance.

unsigned paragraphs;
int maxavail;

_dos_allocmem((unsigned)65000, &paragraphs); /* ask DOS what he's got */
maxavail = paragraphs / 64;                 /* max contiguous K available */
