I don't know how *Palm* does it, but I do it like this (the result
is stored in dbFree):
dbFree = 0;
for (i=0; i<MemNumCards(); i++) {
for (j=0; j<MemNumRAMHeaps(i); j++) {
heapId = MemHeapID(i, j);
if (! MemHeapDynamic(heapId)) {
MemHeapFreeBytes(heapId, &ul1, &ul2);
dbFree += ul1;
}
}
}
And the last time I have checked, it gave me a result, which is
close enough to value of the launcher.
