CWSDPMI r7 - 4GB support (Beta Test) (Announce)

This most likely means that this version of CWSDPMI will install its own and -inevitably - proprietary handler for physical memory access beyond the 4 GB barrier. This makes it incompatible with any programs which also want to access or manage this memory.

I don't like this approach. There exist plans to extend some memory managers - JemmEx and XMGR - to also use this memory. They won't cooperate with this CWSDPMI version.
