is it possible to show "used or free system memoy" from within pd-extended

going over the limit!
In theory you could just read /proc/$$/stat using [textfile] and bang it to
get its only line and pick up $23 from that list, but in practice, even with
the cr option, I can't make [textfile] output a line of it, and I don't know
anything that can tell you "$$" in pd, which is the process id that you see
when you use the "ps" command in Linux/Bash.
Replacing $23 by something else would get you other interesting info, from
the same set that "ps" can tell you about, perhaps a bit more.
Sorry, I misread about the system memory, but I've always only had a use
for process memory so far, so I wrote about what I used to use. I also
used to have an external that did it for real, but it was written in Ruby,
so you can't really use that anymore (you could get an old GridFlow, but
it's better to rewrite it in another language; I'd rather have the
[textfile] solution fixed though).
