I had developed a small diagnostic program using DJGPP. This program is
designed to run from a bootable floppy diskette. I had copied the program
itself and the CWSDPMI.EXE to the floppy. When the system boot from the
floppy and execute this program, I receive a warning message saying "Unable
to create CWSDPMI.SWP" (or somthing similar), and when the program try to
make a 32-bit BIOS call, incorrect data were received. After I execute my
DJGPP setup batch file which includes "set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV" and
"set path=c:\DJGPP\BIN",..etc, my program then begin to work properly.

So here is two questions:
(1) how to solve the problem of the unable to open CWSDPMI.SWP, my program
does not run on virtual mem at all.
(2) What really stop my program running from the floppy. Why DJGPP.ENV is so
important to my program?
(3) Any way I can combine the DPMI host with my program?
