> Does cwsdpmi need/like a specific type of setup? 

CWSDPMI should run in any DOS-like environment which gives direct access to
protected mode.  This would include raw (nothing special in config.sys),
XMS (himem.sys loaded, no emm), or VCPI (EMM386/QEMM/etc).  If it doesn't
work well in one of those modes, it's a bug, and I will fix it if we can
find it.

The code has been used most under EMM386, so if you have problems that is
a good configuration to start.  You should be using (r2).  Himem.sys only
should work well under (r2), and is probably the most reliable.

If it's large programs, I suspect it's a heap problem (see the FAQ).  If
it's small programs it's configuration/hardware.  Once again, see the FAQ.
