System RAM within Blitz?

Probably a silly question, but is there any way to find out how much system ram (NOT video) is being used by a program from within Blitz?

If not could anyone recommend a method for getting this info? (Win 98). Im interested in seeing just how much resouce Im taking up..

Thanks!

you could try pressing ctrl+alt+del and look in the processes list. It shows how much mem a speciffic program is using.

Yeh, but I think he is talking about within his program - this is achievable but requires a DLL (if I remember correctly) - I've seen an example in the code archives before.

The Extended B2D dll has commands for this.

Cool, thanks guys - Ill check that out then.

if i am not to late:

kernel32.decls

.lib "kernel32.dll" 
GetMemoryInfo(bank*):"GlobalMemoryStatus" 

example

bank = CreateBank(32) 
GetMemoryInfo bank 
var = PeekInt(bank, x*4 )

the value of x depends on what information you want:
1...used memory (percent)
2...total physical memory (bytes)
3...free physical memory (bytes)
4...number of bytes in paged files
5...number of free bytes in paged files
6...total virtual memory
7...free virtual memory

hope it helps

Yep, the kernel32.dll was the one I was thinking of.

thanks again, not too late!

appreciate the feedback, cheers!

You can't do that in 98 as it was only added in 2000 I think!
