There is no way yet, the only way would be to create a unit and implement them on all platforms. - BSD (4.4 and derivates including Solaris) and Linux could use sysctl(2) to get kernel values, and probably some of these values. (FreeBSD calls it hw.physmem IIRC). - For Dos you can get an idea by checking the CMOS and/or DPMI hosts etc, but there is no full proof way. (a lot of bioses return 64 MB for compability reasons) For the rest (Netware,windows,OS/2,other unices or derivates if they don't support sysctl or don't allow enough values), you'd have to implement it in a platform specific way. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
