If the PharLap DOS extender is too expensive, consider changing to Zortech
C++ - the whole compiler is cheaper than the PharLap DOS extender.

The Zortech compiler comes with an extender, but for $69 you can get a truly
excellent extender from Flashtek, which can even support virtual memory.

I *highly* recommend the Flashtek extender - if you have Zortech C++ *get
this extender* !!  (By the way, I am not affiliated with Flashtek, I'm
merely an impressed customer).
