Yes.  Chris Matrakidis did most of the coding.  It's still in development,
and the distributed binaries don't contain it since it's not fully tested.
It's a real good start on implementing the VDS standard, but I hesitate to
turn it all on until it's fully tested and as compatible with the version
under Win (and other DPMis) as possible.  When it's "done" and in binaries
vs when r4 gets declared released is still an open issue.  There is a need 
to get a quick r4 with new license terms before the next CDROM (I had 
promised it would be done last weekend...)

the current beta is on ftp:clio.rice.edu:djgpp/csdpmi4*.zip
