The messsage is "Can't handle 16 bit apps, sorry!" and comes from CWSDPMI.
The problem is you are trying to run a 16-bit DPMI application while CWSDPMI
is loaded.  This is probably due to having Borland's bin directory in your
path before DJGPP, and it picks up one of the apps from BCC instead.  
Either remove the Borland executables from your path (best bet) or put them
in the path after the DJGPP bin directory.  Don't try to mix the protected
mode makes or CPP's, or you will just cause yourself problems.
