Subject:	apps that argue with DPMI

Hi,
My DRDOS is configured with the emm386 parameter "dpmi=on" which I believe
is required because I am using nwcache and taskmgr. Everything is working
well, except for two programs which crash the system unless I first turn
DPMI off before running them.
One of those programs is "unzip386.exe" which I got with my DJGPP software,
and the other is the Borland MAKE utility included in my C++ 4.51 package.
My solution has been to imbed those commands in a batch file which first
turns dpmi off, runs the utility, then turns it on again before exiting.
Is there a better solution? Is this a trouble sign that I should take more
seriously? Just curious.
