Oh, not at all confident.  I've only got 32Mb of RAM, and 8Mb of that
is RAMdisk and disk cache, and my 7 DesqView sessions take another 6Mb
or so.  That leaves not much for programs.  You can't run anything
in only 16Mb...

(Seriously, I have no idea how much things like info take.  Or in 
particular gcc during the compilation and link.  So would rather allow
swapping, I have a whole partition on the hard drive set aside for
it...)
