Thank you very much for your efforts.

When playing with CWSPARAM to find optimal settings for my application,
I often experienced, that (unnoticed) the application loaded an other CWSDPMI
from the path (or from it's stub info, or an other DPMI server was already
loaded) 
than that one I just had modified. 
Also I always had my difficulies with pages and paragraphs sizes to remember :-)

So I have modified the CWS_PARAM(r4) program to have the following screen
outputs.
For some parts I took my inspiration from Allegro, others were made by myself. 
If you all like it, we could ask Mr. Charles Sandman to take my modifications
over
to his r5 distribution. Thanks for comments or even more "enhancements".
BTW please don't take this as a critisism of Charles' great work.


DOS C:>cws_param -h           

CWSPARM Usage: CWSPARM [-h] [dpmi_image] [-v] [param=value . . . ]
           or: CWSPARM [-h] [prog_name]  [-v] [param=value . . . ]
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-h means give help   -v means view params  param=value means set w/o prompt
use full name to modify a given 'dpmi_image' (default is "./cwsdpmi.exe")
use 'prog_name' to modify an executable`s associated dpmi-image

swapfile           Full name of paging file ("" to disable)
pagetable          Number of page tables to allocate (0=auto)
minappmem          Minimum application memory before 640K paging
savepara           DOS memory to reserve when 640K paging
heap               Memory for extra CWSDPMI internal heap
maxswap            Maximum size of swap file
