hmmm ... are you trying to use the borland compiler with djgpp tools?
don't you know that's blasphemy? ;-)

dj delorie announced a project for a free compiler that can generate 16
bit code. you can find the details on his pages at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/.

your problem does not have anything to do with this, though. AFAIK, a
message like '16-bit dpmi not supported' can come from two sources
(that's why it would have helped to give the exact message, and a
description of the run time environment.) in this case, it seems more
likely that you are running cwsdpmi and bcc is using 16 bit dpmi
services that are not supported by cwsdpmi. i don't think 16-bit support
is in the works for cwsdpmi. you can try another dpmi server (i don't
know which), try using the tools that came with borland rather than
mixing borland and djgpp tools, or just forget borland ;-)
