If you have emacs you can find out things about GNU (stands for "GNU's Not
UNIX") by reading the GNU manifesto. Type c-h and then c-p. I'm sure there
are other ways to read it, but I don't know them.
There is information about DPMI (note letter order) at DJ's web site:
www.delorie.com/djgpp/
...however, most of the advantages of protected mode are taken care of
already--i.e. a program compiled with djgpp will run in protected mode without
you writing any special code for that.
All that is necessary is that there is a DPMI for your program. Windows has
one, so if you are using DOS from Windows it is taken care of, and there is a
free one, CWSDPMI, available at DJ's web site, if you need to run your
protected mode program in regular DOS.

Someone else might chime in. I'm not sure what you mean.
