It is called DOS/4G from Rational Systems (later Tenberry Software).

Quoting: In case of problems, DOS/4G or DOS/4GW can be replaced with the newer and free DOS/32; a patch utility can even replace DOS/4G code embedded inside a compiled executable file.

A DOS/32 fork can be found at https://github.com/yetmorecode/dos32a-ng
