<h2>9.6 What do DJGPP programs need to run?</h2>

<p><em><strong>Q</strong>: When I copy my DJGPP application program to another PC where no
DJGPP is installed, I can't run it.  It complains that it cannot find DPMI
(??).  Do I really need all of your multi-megabyte installation to run
compiled programs?</em>

<br><p>
<p><strong>A</strong>:  No, you don't.  You can either (a) bring the <code>CWSDPMI.EXE</code>
free DPMI host to the target machine and put it in the same directory as
your compiled program or somewhere along the <code>PATH</code>, or (b) make
sure there's another DPMI host (such as QDPMI, 386Max, Windows, etc.) 
installed on the target machine.

<p>If your program could be run on a machine which lacks a floating-point
processor, you should also distribute an emulator, or link your program
with an emulator library.  See <a href="faq11_1.html">floating-point emulation issues</a>.

<p><code>PMODE/DJ</code> is an alternative DPMI host that can be bound with your
program, so that you have a single self-sufficient executable, but
remember that <code>PMODE/DJ</code> doesn't support virtual memory, so such
programs will only run on machines with enough free physical RAM.
