dtou is DOS-to-Unix file conversion program; utod is the reverse.
dtou strips CR characters to make each line end with the LF alone,
like Unix expects them; utod adds CR characters to make DOS-based
programs happy.

dpmifix is only required for programs compiled with very old versions
DJGPP, you will probably never need this.

In the DPMI mode, run go32 with no arguments, it will tell you how many
free RAM it sees.  QDPMI has a known bug whereby even if you turn the
virtual memory ON, you don't get more RAM than the free physical RAM
(i.e., you don't get virtual memory with DJGPP under QDPMI).  Under
WfW 3.11, check if you have enough available vurtual memory.
