I do not know methods wich are specific to djgpp/cwsdpmi (maybe there is
some __dpmi_get_allocated_memory() or something like that :-)

A very portable way is to write some wrapper functions to malloc() free()
and other functions like these.

Your wrapper functions can keep track of the memory allocated and
deallocated
and you can get the value every time you need it.

Of course you have to substitute throughout your program all instances of
malloc() with my_malloc() and so on.
