It sounds like what you want is a total amount of memory in use, which 
is reported by /usr/ucb/vmstat.  That is on a VAXstation II/Ultrix 3.1.
It should be available in RISC Ultrix.  Vmstat will report avm (Active
Virtual Memory) and fre (Free Memory) in 1k pages.  It also reports
various disk and controller statistics.
