That request would require around 36MB of memory (in addition to the program 
and what else has been allocated), so you need more memory available.  See 
Rugxulo's response for how to configure that in DOSBox.

>Could you explain me how to use CWSPARAM?

1) Read the cwsparam.doc file.
2) Run cwsparam in the same directory as cwsdpmi.exe, and answer the 
questions.

Note that CWSPARAM will not significantly change the amount of memory 
available (it works with what it has been provided).  It only changes rarely 
needed parameters, such as increasing virtual memory beyond 128MB 
(unlikely), or DOS memory handling (very rare).
