EXECUTE shrinks your program's memory allocation to the smallest possible
value, runs the specified program, and then expands the memory allocation
again.  Tested with Turbo Pascal 6.0 and 7.0, and Borland Pascal 7.0.

Usage: Put HeapMan in your USES clause, and call Execute instead of Exec.

Notice: Do NOT SwapVectors, since HeapMan.Execute does it for you.

WARNING: DOS.DosExitCode will no longer be valid.
Instead, query Heapman.DosExitCode after calling HeapMan.Execute.
