Please!

I've been through all the FAQ's, readme's, etc., and I still cannot find an
acceptable answer (Yes is the acceptable answer!).

What I need to do is spawn a program (namely PVCS executables) under a
Win95 DOS box and be portable to UNIX at the same time.  DJGPP will get me
most of the way with its portability, but I'm stuck on DPMI services.  It
turns out that all of the PVCS routines use DOS4GW as their extender and
that is mentioned as a no-no by at least PMODE 1.2.  I've tried GO32,
CWSDPMI, and PMODE to no avail (all under DJGPP v2).  Is it possible to do
what I need to do?  What other package do I need (other than a Mickeysoft
package, of course)?  Did I miss a FAQ?
