Look for the string like "total contiguous" and compare the number with
what you want in bytes. If N is #Mbytes, bytes is 1024*1024*N.
Remember that DOS takes 1Mb of your total (1048576) and MEM reports
what is left.
Re: the missing 64k. Some computers (I have one) take from the available
XMS to shadow the bios, and this screws with the total.
Here is a (slightly) tested method that makes good use of FIND and SORT:
