Finding available memory on Linux is easy using the shell command "free".
But "free" isn't available on OS X, and although "alloc" is listed as an equivalent at some sites it isn't available on any of the Macs I have here.
I could use "top -l1 -n0" to get just the overview stuff from which I can parse out the memory info, but it's not a very fast command to execute, taking more than a second to return the result to LiveCode.
On Windows there's the "mem" command, but that only returns memory available for the CLI itself, not for the whole system.
Anyone here know a fast way to get available memory on OS X and Windows on all versions of those OSes supported by LiveCode?
