No, DPMI is associated with all -DOS- 32 bit protected mode compilers. DPMI
stands for DOS Protected Mode Interface, after all. -Protected mode- is
associated with all 32-bit PM compilers, but how this is implimented and
used can and does vary. Under Linux everything is running 32-bits already,
the kernel, the compiler, the libraries, etc, etc, so no DPMI-ish thing is
required.
