[comp.sys.mac] How do I find out what is using up my memory

I have a 1Mb Mac Plus that has been working fine up until two days ago when it
suddenly experienced a loss of memory space.  I can no longer load large
programs like SuperPaint or Word because they complain about not enough
memory.  The amount of application heap space available after I have rebooted
and only the Finder is running is about 100,000 bytes.  On another identical
system (of which the sick one was originally a direct copy) the same situation
shows about 500,000 bytes available.  My sick system had been working fine
until, I believe, I tried to open an old MacDraft file with the latest version
of MacDraft.  At least, that was when I noticed it.  I have checked all my
files in the System folder to see if something has suddenly gotten much
bigger (which has happened to me before) but nothing has changed.  So, my
question is:  is there a utility that I can use to tell me what is installed
in my memory, or how my memory space is being used?
