I used WIN95 with 64Mb RAM and, after boot, I had approximately
50Mb free for programs.  This value can change in accordance with the
programs that you use and occupies the memory RAM soon after boot
(example:  Norton anti-virus).  When I changed for WIN98, after
boot, I had only 32Mb of RAM free.
Don't forget that Hiarcs7.32 occupies memory RAM (I don't know how much).
I esteemed that you have aproximately 45Mb for hash tables.
