Please make a point of describing all the relevant details.  Only those 
who know MIDAS by heart will know off the top of their heads what are the 
flags used by MIDAS, and without that knowledge it is impossible to 
decide whether the crt0 flags required by MIDAS will conflict with yours 
(in which case you can never reconcile them, and will have to rewrite 
your program or abandon MIDAS).

Assuming the flags required by MIDAS do NOT contradict yours, you can 
call the library function `__djgpp_nearptr_enable' (e.g. at the beginning 
of `main') instead of setting the _CRT0_FLAG_NEARPTR flag.  As for the
_CRT0_FLAG_NONMOVE_SBRK flag, you can set it at run time, inside `main', 
like this:

int main ()
{
  ....
  _crt0_startup_flags |= _CRT0_FLAG_NONMOVE_SBRK;
  ....
