The problem is that I need to make small fix to binaries: by default
CWSDPMI allocates all available XMS memory, if there is no VCPI
available. But I need to use rather large amounts of XMS (64 - 128 MB)
in my software. So I changed initial XMS allocation in CWSDPMI to half
of available XMS. So, am I able to distribute executable with stubbed
CWSDPMI (CWSDSTUB.EXE appended to COFF image) with this change?
