Your only hope is to get a copy of 386max and see if it works for you.  The
DPMI 0.9 spec specifically states you can't have 16-bit and 32-bit DPMI 
clients running in the same virtual machine. 

Borland products expect the DPMI to provide extension also, so just 
adding 16-bit support to CWSDPMI didn't solve the problem.  I had some
Borland products running under a hacked version of CWSDPMI a few years ago,
but the code was bloated, ugly and unmaintainable, so it was never migrated.
