Subject: Cwsdpmi, why isn't it working?

I have Win95 and I don't normaly need a dpmi, but there are times when I
would like to use it instead of Windows.  I have tried cwsdpmi -p at the
prompt before and all I get is the information about its version.  I
have also tried cwsdpmi <progname> at the command line.  After trying to
activate it still can't use the programs that I am trying to use.  I
have 16megs of RAM so I don't think that is the problem.  When I try to
use it I make sure that I am in DOS and that Windows isn't running.  I
had been avoiding the problem by using go32-v2 but even that doesn't
seem to work right.  If anyone is curious why I want to not have windows
in the background it is becaus I want to try some of the different modes
and animation styles in the demo game that comes with Allegro, and some
of them don't like Win95.

Thanks in advance.
Jason
