   (room)

   or (room t) for more detailed information.

Thanks.  I believe (room t) tells you how much space you have used,
not how much space is available.  

I have a CMUCL program doing hierarchical clustering.  I can cluster
5000 points without any problem when there are not many processes 
around.  After I fire up a couple Emacs processes and one Galeon (a big
memory hog) process,  clustering the same 5000 points would crash my
Linux box.  There are only 192 MB's of memory on my machine.  One of the
vectors generated while clustering 5000 points is a double float vector
of length a bit more than 12 millions.  I though maybe I could find out
the amount of dynamic memory available before I start cranking the 
numbers.

Best,
