I have no plans at this point to make further changes to CWSDPMI (there
are no confirmed bugs that I know of, and the missing feature set is small,
and there are easy workarounds for those).  And I don't use DOS anymore.

The code can be re-compiled (with a change in dalloc.h) to support up to 
2Gb of virtual memory (if you have that much disk).  This will greatly
increase the resident size of the executing CWSDPMI image (potentially to
the point where the small model breaks).

I did do some testing almost 2 years ago with 512Mb of memory configured,
and it seemed to run OK, but I didn't have that much time to test it 
rigorously (512Mb on a 16Mb machine is S L O W . . .)
