I'm using Microsoft C 6.0 in a major project. During execution I need to know
how much (dynamic) memory is available for allocation. There are some functions
(_maxavail() and _memavail()) that only seems to work in small models,
but since we use large model, I cannot use those functions.

Right now I'm using the obvious but stupid method, I allocate and allocate
until I hit the roof, and then I free the memory again. Not nice,
but it works.
