How much is in the heap?....

["Josiah Avery" <josiahavery@hotmail.com>]

   Hello,

   This is a rather quick question. Does anyone know a routine to call or 
some other way of determining how much memory is avalible from the heap ( 
regardless of OS )? Also, does anyone know how prevalent memory 
fragmentation is with todays compilers? For those whom have never heard of 
this; Memory fragmentation is the result of the compiler assuming that x 
amounts of bytes is unavalible for allocation on account that there is not x 
amounts of bytes in one continuous array of address-space ( this occurs when 
memory is allocated and deallocated over a period of time ).

  Thanks a lot.

  Josiah
