Jeez, you don't half go on and on about the same idea :-)

What you suggest is _not possible_. No way. Under Win 3.1, Win-95, 
Win-NT, OS-2, Linux dosemu, and just about any other OS out there except 
plain DOS, you _can't_ get rid of the DPMI, no matter how much you might 
want to. Under djgpp 1.x you couldn't get rid of it either: that's why 
go32 programs had trouble doing graphics in windows DOS boxes.
