 Hi.  I have Watcom C++ v10 and I need a way to find out how much free
RAM is left available to allocate.  I've played with _heapwalk() and
memaval etc and they only report about 3k available.  I have 32mb of
RAM.  I'm doing this with DOS/4GW and wpp386.  If anyone knows a way
of reporting the entire FREE RAM space I'd be greatful if they were to
share it with me.  Preferably I'd like to know if there is a standard
way of finding the entire free "core" area under any C or C++ system.
I there is none i think it's a gapping hole in the standard.

Ciao,
	Oliver Jones
