Are you asking this for a Watcom program or for a DJGPP program?

For Watcom, please refer to their tech support, this news group is for
DJGPP-related discussions.

For DJGPP, the FAQ is the place to look for answers for such
questions.  Check out the recommendations in section 3.10 of the DJGPP
FAQ list.  In particular, they specifically tell you to use CWSDPMI,
not PMODE, and not to install *any* memory manager.
