I see, I thought that 256Mb of virtual memory meant 256Mb of hard disk
swap file ;-)
In that case, do you have any idea, if CWSDPMI is still in development
(and if there are plans to make it support more than 128 Mb of RAM).
Or is there another DPMI host available (maybe commercial) which
doesn't have this limit.

Any suggestions appreciated.
