I have no problem with that.
Reminds me of Doszip Commander. In older version (2.47) it had two files: DZ.EXE (694 bytes) and DZ.OVL (145 kbytes). It's written in assembler, so probably you can borrow something from.

You could try Ralf Brown's SPAWNO, Thomas Wagner's EXEC (do_exec), TurboPower's ExecSwap, or similar approaches. Or maybe there's something usable at http://www.retroarchive.org/swag/MEMORY/ or http://www.retroarchive.org/swag/EXEC/

By the way: Once I read the name DWED as DEWD, which reminds of "The dude": https://www.fromthegrapevine.com/slideshows/arts/legendary-tv-and-movie-beards/page/8 :-D
