Previous versions of DR-DOS, OpenDOS, or NWDos required turning DPMI off
temporarily before running a program that had to call cwsDPMI.  There is no
need to turn DPMI off in config.sys.  If you choose to turn it off (for
example, to use cwsDPMI as the DPMI server altogether), change the DPMI=ON
line to OFF in the EMM386 line (I believe it is DPMI=ON - something like
that.).

The command-line is DPMI OFF , followed by DPMI ON.

It's easy to put it in a batch file:

@echo off

DPMI OFF

program.exe

DPMI ON

DR-DOS 7.03 (the latest kernal) apparently doesn't require this at all.
