The go32 environment variables which make sense in v2.0 environment still 
work.  The GO32TMP directory (where the paging happens) is an example of 
those who do.

This is an example of things which don't make sense under v2.0 (because 
CWSDPMI has no real control of the application's I/O, this is now handled 
by the library), and thus don't work.

The DJGPP FAQ list describes some of the aspects of moving from v1.x to 
v2.0, and can be used as guidelines when questions such as those above 
arise.  When v2.0 is released, hopefully its README files will document 
what environment variables are in use.
