Subject: Function similar to Turbo C's coreleft()???
Status: O

This is probably a foolish question but ...

Is there a __simple__ way of figuring out how much physical RAM is available
to a program, something like coreleft() and farcoreleft() in Turbo C? For
instance, something that would let me write

	if( coreleft() < 4 MB ) {
		do this;
	}
	else do that;

I know that debug32 can figure this out, but I assume that it uses Turbo C
functions to examine base memory, xms memory, etc. whereas I wish to do it
from gcc directly. Any tips are greatly appreciated ...
