Put it in the zipfile right next to your program's .exe.

You must do one of these:
* distribute the source of cwsdpmi, or
* put a blurb in your readme telling users how to get the source
  from a Simtel mirror


RTFM cwsdpmi.doc:

CWSDPMI is Copyright (C) 1995-1997  Charles W Sandmann

This is release 4.  The files in this binary distribution may be
redistributed under the GPL (with source) or without the source code
provided:

* CWSDPMI.EXE or CWSDPR0.EXE are not modified in any way except via
  CWSPARAM

* Notice to users that they have the right to receive the source code
  and/or binary updates for CWSDPMI.  Distributors should indicate a
  site for the source in their documentation.
