-
- Reports total memory (RAM), free memory, and used memory. All blocks of
- free memory are listed (not just the largest block), and freemem's own
- memory (1768 bytes) is included in the largest block.
-
- According to freemem, a 520 ST with TOS 1.4 contains 430190 bytes of free
- RAM if it is loaded without auto programs or desk accessories. 94098 bytes
- are used by TOS (including 32767 bytes for screen RAM).

- 520st, 1040st, 2megst, 4megst
- =============================
-
- These programs reconfigure STs to a lower memory specification (by changing
- system variables). This is useful for checking program compatibility on
- machines with several megabytes of memory. To return your ST to its
- original configuration you can either coldboot or run the appropriate
- program (1040st on a 1040 etc.) These programs restart your computer, so
- you should save ramdisks etc. before running them.
