I was wondering if there was some sort of utility to tell me how much
memory was being used by the system. For example in linux there is 
the program 'free' which shows you the amount being used and what 
is free. 

Top doesn't seem to be reporting it correctly.
Memory: Real: 58M/69M Virt: 81M/313M Free: 7140K
I have 128MB of real memory and 200MB of swap.
Maybe I am overlooking something here, but it doesn't seem to add up.

The system is running BSDi3.0

Thanks
Casper
