I thought you didn't know shit about ASM, Paul? ;-)
Depending on how Watcom allocates memory, it could be as simple as
asking DOS to allocate 1Mb, and noting the amount of free memory it returns
when the call fails, or it could require intimate knowledge of how Watcom's
memory manager handles memory under the Large model.
This assumes you're talking about the DOS version, of course.....
