This is not acceptable. To make a DPMI sample with some memory allocation you could view into the FD DEBUG package. It comes with 2 DPMI samples for 16/32 clients in NASM syntax. Just add some code which allocates 64 MB memory in protected mode. You can even use DEBUG to step thru your code and see if it has allocated the memory correctly. It's trivial and dull, almost like a DOS "hello world" with int 21h, ah=09.
