It doesn't conflict at all if you have a memory manager (like EMM386 or 
QEMM) installed.  You can run real-mode programs and DJGPP protected-mode 
programs from the same command line, invoke any program from any other 
program, etc.

DPMI is automatically loaded when you invoke a DJGPP program and unloaded 
when it exits, so you don't have to worry.
