The only DPMI host I know about that can be bound with the executable is
PMODE/DJ. If that's what you are talking about, then please note that it
does NOT make CWSDPMI obsolete, because PMODE doesn't support virtual
memory, so your programs will not be able to use more than the available
physical memory.
The PMODE docs lists a few more points where it deviates from the DPMI
spec.
IMHO, these problems make PMODE less than a general-purpose DPMI host.
