32Mb is normally enough, I use 36 Mb under DOS 6 reserving 4Mb for RAM disk and 
8Mb for cache. My EXE is 5Mb with debug information. All works ok under DOS, 
under W95 the compilation could fail ramdomly, nothing seriuos because asking 
for compile again works (the machine doesn't crash, the IDE doesn't crash).
How RHIDE complains about out of memory? How much virtual memory do you have?

Strange, are you sure? are you opening a huge file? RHIDE eats around 4Mb in my 
system. If I start debugging it takes more memory to load the EXE (5Mb long in 
disk) .
