Borlan

    Uh, what? I hate these damn derectives. Does dpmi32 = win32? 
    
#if !defined(__FLAT__)

    Ok - I guess _memavl() is still coreleft() in _Windows. But which 
    windows target 16/32?
    But for tiny,small,medium only. So what about huge? I'm lost.
    Damn standards! at least java has a standard way of getting
    free memory.
