I sort of understand why you can't do graphics very easily, if at all, with
djgpp and DPMI 0.9, and that a DPMI 1.0 host would solve this problem.  But
if DJ writes a host, will it help OS/2 and Windows (and NT, Chicago...)
users?  I suspect the answer is no for any case where DPMI support is part of
the operating system.  There seems to be a hole here which can only be filled
by convincing the operating system vendors to upgrade their DPMI support to
1.0.
