You don't need to install CWSDPMI as a TSR, because the DJGPP stub (a
small 2KB-long real-mode DOS program prepended to the rest of the
protected-mode image) loads CWSDPMI automatically if it doesn't see
that DPMI services are available.  That's why your program still
works.  If you rename CWSDPMI.EXE to something else, chances are it
will stop working, unless you have some other DPMI host installed
unbeknownst to you.
