GetVersionEx() is available on all systems going back to Win95 and NT3.5.

GlobalMemoryStatusEx() is only available on Win2k or higher.

Then you do not have up-to-date header files installed.  Which version of
BCB are you actually using?  I'm guessing BCB3, since OSVERSIONINFOEX has
been available since BCB4 and MEMORYSTATUSEX since BCB5.
