Look at _go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory() and
_go32_dpmi_remaining_virtual_memory() and the lower level routine they call.
Note that in some environments, only the virtual memory value is valid.

The .TEX files are processed by makeinfo to make formatted help files
(extension varies).  The formatted files can be read in GNU emacs using the
info command, or using info.exe which is included in the djgpp distribution.
You'll also see DIR files which are the top-level menus for selecting
what help to read.  You may need to adjust paths in the DIR files if you
don't put the info files in the standard places.
