OK, I know it's a sin to ask this but it's a crazy world anyway...
Has anyone ever looked into dynamic memory allocation in Occam?

Just in case no one has ever implemented this, a related question:
what would be the best way to figure out how much memory is available
on a processor and how would one get a "[]INT memory" pointer to it
(which could then be used by an allocater process)?

You guessed it: I would like something as is offered in the D7(2)05
toolset for single processor programs, only this time I need it in
multi-processor programs. Incidently; I use Inmos' D7205 toolset on
six T800's, all running multiple processes and having different
memory sizes.

Any pointers appreciated!
