Here a small piece of code to determine the DOS memory (that
would be available at the DOS prompt) from within a TP program. It
doesn't account for UMB and heap limited programs (the $M directive).
It returns (almost) the value chkdsk and mem return for largest
available block of dos memory.

{----Returns Largest Free DOS memory as seen on the dos prompt by }
{ CHKDSK and MEM. }
{----Records from The Programmer's PC Sourcebook by Thom Hogan, 1st Edition}
{ Only relevant field commented. Tuned by be equal to DR-DOS's 6.0}
{ MEM command. Works only if programs allocates all memory available}
{ so no max heaplimits to enable TP's Exec.}
