You should install SMARTDRV before running cwsdpmi as a TSR. It isn't
necessary to load cwsdpmi into memory to use it; as long as it is in
your djgpp/bin directory, and the bin directory is in your PATH. But as
long as you load SMARTDRV first, it should work fine. I can't see why
SMARTDRV wouldn't run with cwsdpmi present, though...
BTW, DJGPP should have no problems working under 386MAX; after all the
latter has a fully DPMI 1.0-compliant DPMI host. What exactly have you
been having trouble with? Posting some of the error messages you get
would help us try to solve your problems.
Hope this helps!
