That could get kind of messy.  Depending on what operating system you
are using (System 1.0 up to System 6.0.1) some of the tools will be
completely ROM for some versions and partly ROM based and partly RAM
based in other versions.  Some will be completely RAM based as they were
released after the ROM 3 was released but it could get pretty
convoluted.

I'm not even sure why you would need to know this as I assume that TML
Pascal will take care of making sure any tools needed are loaded and
initialized if you use them in your programs.  I suppose you might want
to know how much extra RAM will be used by any tools that you load but
like I said above, that can vary with operating system version.
