Not true.  DJGPP has no internal limits on the memory size, except the
basic 2GB limit of 32-bit address space.  CWSDPMI supports up to 256MB
of RAM, see the FAQ.

(There are some known bugs in CWSDPMI when you approach the 256MB
limit, though.  These should be fixed with the next release of
CWSDPMI.)
