I have written an application program called FlWriter which lets you
shell to DOS from the menu. If you do that just 285kb remained for
user programs. (I have 4GB of memory on my PC). Since cwsdpmi has no
problems to access memory above 1MB I suggest for the next release to
move the tables above 1MB somewhere.

I wanted to use my FLTK port with the planned filemanager, so it has
to be written in djgpp. Idealy you should be able to run any program
from the filemanager the user selects.

As Rugxulo suggests in this case I probably better make an assembler
TSR which loads the filemanager and runs the selected program after
the filemanager has terminated. When that has terminated the
filemanager is loaded again. I just would like to save this load/
unload since the filemanager will probably be about 1.5 MB after UPX.
