I can't help you, but here is an idea.
CauseWay, AFAIK, is protected mode linker. I've seen it used with clipper
apps few times (although blinker seemed more popular). I think (I may be
wrong, though), that you can change it's behaviour with envirnment setting
(for blinker, for example, you could do 'SET BLINKER=/hv-' to disable VCPI
and force it to use DPMI or basic XMS to run in protected mode).
I did not work with causeway, but maybe you can find some documentation on
'net about it and possible switches.
