Dear Eli,
May be the problem lies not with PMODE/W V1.33 but with 
CWSDPMI. 
I suggest this because 
1. when I load CWSDPMI as the DPMI host and try to run a 
PMODE/W V1.33 program PMODE says 'Error could not allocate 
page table memory' and aborts. However without CWSDPMI the 
program runs under plain dos perfectly.

2. When I run the same PMODE/W exe under WIN95 dosbox(ie- 
using WINDOWS as the DPMI server) the exe runs perfectly.

Clearly there is either a problem with either PMODE/W's Page 
table allocating method or something wrong with CWSDPMI.

Please tell me if my testing's have any significance regarding the 
current problem.

BTW I haven't changed any of CWSDPMI's default settings except 
to make the swapfile to "d:\cwsdpmi.swp" wich is a valid drive. And 
the same happens when I use CWSDPR0 as DPMI server.

Thank's,
Kalum Somaratna.
