It should run just fine.  I haven't tested it lately, but it should behave
pretty much like the standard stub under Windows.  Make sure you distribute
PMODE 1.1 (from riceng) and not PMODE 1.0.  The only drawback I can think 
of you might see in using PMODE instead of CWSDPMI would be on a very low
memory available machine (ie 1Mb 386) in which PMODE wouldn't run at all
and CWSDPMI will.  I'm not sure how much memory UNZIP needs.  It would also
be nice to get some real hard testing in on PMODE/DJ - I get the feeling
it hasn't been used alot yet.

I actually used to distribute the very, very early alphas that way.  Another
alternative would be some unreleased code I have which uses the pmode
stub and links it with some hacked cwsdpmi modules to make a standlone 
cwsdpmi stub (around 22K in size).  But I would need to finish this and
release it, and I've been very busy lately.
