No they are not.  The DPMI server, whichever you use, is a completely 
seperate program that must be available when your program starts.  If 
there is not a DPMI server running already, the startup code will start 
one - CWSDPMI by default, but that can be changed.  When a DPMI server is 
running the startup code switches to protected mode and continues.  
However, there is no DPMI server linked into your executable (unless 
you've linked one in explicitly, like PMODE/DJ).
