How do you find out how much free far heap you still have available? The
only function which looks like it even comes close is _memavl(), but
that only reports on the near heap. (I'm compiling for the large memory
model and using third-party libraries, ergo mostly using far heap.) I've
checked the documentation in QH, "Managing Memory in C" in the
Programming Techniques manual, and the function reference manuals but to
no avail. The non-orthogonality bothers me (there should be a _fmemavl).
