Ram

[samishal]

Anyone aware of a BASIC command that displays the current amount of memory ?

[Willsy]

Only in extended basic. Can't do it with TI BASIC.

 

In XB just type SIZE

 

You can get an approximation in TI BASIC like this:

 

32000 A=0

32001 A=A+8

32002 GOSUB 32001

 

Run it with RUN 32000

 

When you get an error, do a PRINT A

 

There's the *approximate* amount of memory remaining.

 

(the above from memory from something I read in TI*MES in about 1989!)

Be aware though that TI BASIC can only use VDP RAM. It knows nothing about the 32K expansion.

 

Extended BASIC can use VDP RAM for variable storage, and 24K of the 32K for program storage. The remaining 8K or the 32K is used for assembly routine storage.

Also you can get more memory to use by using:

CALL FILES(1)

 

This will free up memory for the program and have 1 file to open or close.
