It's not that easy as you might expect to find the function in DOS
environment. It would be possible to write it but you'd have to
guarantee that the program in question will run ALWAYS under a DPMI 1.0
host. So far the only provider of full DPMI 1.0 services is 386Max.
CWSDPMI provides some of DPMI 1.0 capabilities, unfortunately not those
that map memory.
So the answer here is NO - until we have a FREE DPMI 1.0 server (maybe
soon...)
