In Windows Vista (SP1 or newer) You can increase this limit by adding
corresponding registry entry. No need to even restart. Change is active
immediately when next DOS window is opened after registry change is
done. I do not know however about Windows 7.

requires much more than 32Mb.

Use Win7 64-bit and install Windows Virtual PC including Windows
XP mode. You can run your DJGPP programs either in XP mode or in
vanilla DOS if you want to.<br>
