Does PMODETSR.EXE use swap? I.e., If not, then I would change the DPMI host
for it using STUBEDIT.EXE. E.g.,
STUBEDIT my_exe.exe
It has five options, just hit enter for the first four. Change the last one
to PMODETSR.EXE. You'll have to copy PMODETSR.EXE instead
of CWSDPMI.EXE to your floppy.
Mimimum amount of stack space (bytes/K/M) ? [0x80000 (512k)]
Size of real-memory transfer buffer (bytes/K/M)? [0x4000 (16k)]
Base name of ilfe to actually run (max 8 chars, ""=self) ? [""]
Value to pass as file component of argv[0] (max 16 chars, ""=default) ? [""]
Program to load to provide DPMI services (if needed) ? [CWSDPMI.EXE]
