I have an old DOS app running on a 486.   I DESPARATELY need access to the 8
MBytes I have in the machine, but cannot get beyond the lower 640 k DOS limit. 
 

I have downloaded DJGPP and CWSDPMI, and a little test program shows i can
indeed allocate up into this area. HURRAY!

However...

My app uses alot of MS specific C extensions and #includes DOS.H too.  I don't
have the time (or gray matter) to carefully re-write the code so it will
compile with DJGPP.

My Question:  Is there a way i can just use CWSDPMI with my existing code?
If so, do i just load it as a TSR?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Jay
