Hans,
The required DPMI server is freely available from
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/csdpmi3b.zip. The source of
which is in csdpmi3s.zip. To use, simply unzip the binary
(csdpmi3b.zip) distribution and put the resulted CWSDPMI.EXE in your DOS
%PATH%.
I have no experience of running CWSDPMI.EXE programs and XMS/EMS
programs at the same time though.
