Then, DJ's future DPMI host automatically turned off if Window is started?
If DJ write DPMI 1.0 host in future, doesn't it mean that a future program
written for this may not be compatible with DPMI 0.9 of Windows? 
DJ wrote in some other message, DPMI 0.9 will be a minimum requirement.
How can it be?  Isn't it true that some DJGPP programs written for DPMI 1.0 
cannot be run under Windows DPMI 0.9? (if OS's DPMI is used)

Thanks.
