If these hosts fully support DPMI 0.9 or higher, then you should be able
to use them with DJGPP programs.  However, there are a _lot_ of buggy
DPMI hosts out there (earlier versions of QDPMI, Novell DOS 7, etc.). 
If you notice any problems with DJGPP programs when they are running
under one of your hosts, try disabling them and allowing cwsdpmi to take
over.  If you still have problems after doing this, then it's probably
your program.  ;)

In case you didn't know, cwsdpmi is ONLY used if there is no other DPMI
host present in the system.
