Consult the FAQ, there are a CRT0 flag to lock all, I use that. In addition if you can 
choose the DPMI server for the application use PMODE/DJ or CWSDPMI Ring 0 
version, you'll loose the Virtual memory but you'll gain:
1) Speed.
2) No need for locking.
  Additionally you can take a look to Allegro, Shawn made a very usefull work 
there to make the lock part much more easy.
  Or you can wait a little until DJ release GCC 2.7.2.2 for DJGPP with some 
patches that will make the locking procedure much more easy.

Take a look at Allegro, basically Shawn puts labels (created with dummy 
functions) around the function to lock.

  Allegro can simplify your life again, the Allegro interrupt wrapper was 
designed with that in mind, the interrupt routine can chain to the original, or 
not, according to the returned value.
