Does anyone have a simple Microsoft C replacement for the coreleft()
function supplied by Turbo C?  _memavl only returns available
memory left n the default data segment, so it won't work on the
large model.  Coreleft() works in all memory models.  I am
not really interested in one of those "try malloking larger and 
larger amounts till it fails" solutions because MSC large model
does not free memory very efficiently (if at all).
