  Sorry but I've never really figured out what dpmi is.  You only get it 
under Windows or OS/2 or something, right?  What if I'm not under dpmi?  
Does that make it easier or harder?  EMM386 is a TSR that I assume uses 
at least a little bit of protected mode, and it runs under plain DOS and 
Windows.  How does EMM386 do it?
