Description | Use the heapSpace function to determine how much free memory remains. This function exists to aid compatibility with imported HyperCard stacks. It may not return the exact amount of free memory. It also does not take available temporary memory into account. On Unix and Windows systems, this function does not return a meaningful value. |
