There is PMODE/DJ which is a stub replacement for the stub that comes with
djgpp. It provides dpmi services if needed so your exe would not need a
separate dpmi server. It does not support virtual memory. You can get it at
a simtel mirror in the djgpp distribution section (v2misc I think). To use
it, you first build your program like normal and then remove the standard
stub with exe2coff and append the pmodedj stub like this:

copy /b pmodestub.exe+programname outname.exe

the /b switch is important and so is the ordering of the filenames. I don't
remember the exact name of the stub exe but it's something like that. Just
replace the filenames I used above with the actual names used. Just remember
that the pmode stub can provide dpmi services only if no other dpmi server
is loaded (just like cwsdpmi) so if your program runs in a windows dos box,
dpmi will be provided by windows.
