Is possible and impossible ;-)

Under W95:
You can't have more than 64Mb of DPMI memory and:
1) W95 doesn't allow to allocate more than the half of the memory in one call, 
so no more than 32Mb will be provided.
2) Allocating 48Mb with v2.01 will need 64Mb and that doesn't let space for 
the EXE.

So under W95 is impossible.

Under DOS+CWSDPMI:

If you have enough free disk, yes is possible.
