As the CWSDPMI documentation fully makes clear, this fine DPMI server
can conflict with DOS4G programs; I've found that the result with
Image Alchemy PS 1.8, Blue Wave Mail Reader (32-bit version), and R:BASE
4.5++ is indeed consistently a lockup.

Out of curiosity, does this problem admit of any potential solution? In
the meantime, I'm taking the obvious measure of alternating between
CWSDPMI and QDPMI depending on whether I see a need for more than
7600K of free DPMI RAM and 976K of DPMI swap space -- the latter,
of course, being what CWSDPMI provides in amounts up to 128M.

Well, it's fortunate that both DPMI servers can be loaded and unloaded
from a batch file, and that CWSDPMI can loadhi with QEMM. Of course, if
the conflict could somehow be solved, then I would likely run CWSDPMI
all the time. It's a fine contribution to djgpp.
