OK, finaly I read it :)
But... still I don't know how to check this amount of free memory.
I used sbrk(),  _go32_dpmi_get_free_memory_information(...),
_go32_remaining_virtual_memory(), value returning by malloc - all things
described in DJGPP FAQ,
and *NONE* of them worked,
excaly - all of them returned the sam value before and after delete[]...

So, finaly I think, that ther isn't ANY method for checking REAL ammount of
free virtual / physical memory under DJGPP ?
