With CWSDPMI r4 you should be able to get 255Mb of total available 
memory under DOS.  You would need to load the HIMEM.SYS from Win 9x.
You would need to run CWSPARAM to provide more than 128Mb virtual
storage - but do not go above 255Mb total as seen via go32-v2. 
You may need to check the DJGPP version (or malloc library) if you 
don't get the amount of memory shown in Go32-v2 actually available.

With CWSDPMI r5 you should be able to get 2Gb of virtual storage if
desired - but I haven't released it yet.
