I don't know tru64, but until a tru64 expect checks in, I will try a couple of guesses.

First look at your man page ps and see if there is a way that you can specify exactly which fields to display. Both HP-UX and SunOS can do this and they a field called rss (resident set size). If you also can get your ps to display rss that should do it.

There is a freeware program called top. HP-UX bundles it in with the os. And it's at freeware sites for SunOS. Top has a field called RES that also does this.

I hope one of these works for you.
