subject: Allocated memory - how do I query?

* CP: All - OS2-CSET 81:431/19.1929

Hello All!

I am looking for a function that tells me how much memory my application
has allocated at the moment, since the following thing does not work:


var P: pointer;

begin
 writeln( memavail); { write the number of remaining free bytes }
 getmem( p, 4);      { allocate 4 bytes }
 writeln( memavail); { write the number of remaining free bytes after alloc}
 freemem( p, 4);     { release the 4 bytes again }
 writeln( memavail); { again remaining }
end.

this program outputs:

774430
774500
774430

of this I will have to conclude the program takes less memory when I have
just _allocated_ some!

So, where can I get the number of bytes OS/2 knows I have allocated in the system?

HELP!

Erik/2
