AFAIK, TP6 is itself a 16-bit DPMI program.  If you run your DJGPP
programs from TP6, or run TP6 from a DJGPP program (e.g., if you use
Bash as your shell), then you will have trouble because DJGPP programs
are 32-bit DPMI programs, and mixing 16-bit and 32-bit DPMI programs
is forbidden by the DPMI spec.

In general, I'd suggest to find another editor.  IMHO, TP6 should not
be used for anything but editing Turbo Pascal programs (if it should
be used at all).
