Probably I don't fully understand what you want to do: running a Borland 16-bit app under hdpmi16 should work without further actions - are you sure you need the HX dpmi loader dpmild16.exe to launch the Borland app?

"Not enough memory" errors could also occur because the dpmi host offers too much memory - hdpmi16 may supply up to 4 GB. You can try to reduce free mem with the -x option.

"My guess is: the Borland extender uses a 16-bit version of LGDT or LIDT that only works with 24-bit addresses. If you find occurrences of these instructions in the extender, a fix is possible. However, the fix can be tricky because the 32-bit versions of these instructions require an extra byte (66h)."
Patchne changes two bytes in NE section, both exe borland and extender borland, but I think that dynamic link to extender is broken and therefore
extender is improper

I enclose extender dll for borland 16bit dpmi
