Perhaps a different function would be good. I'm thinking there may be other platform-specific features that could be supported. E.g., FreeBSD has jails, but I am not sure they have the ability to limit resources. For the typical platform it can fallback to one of the physmem functions. I guess the hard part is thinking of a name. I considered "usablemem" at first, but feel that it gives the impression you are returning the difference if phyiscal memory and used memory at the current moment. Collin
