The only DPMI host I know about that can be bound with the executable is 
PMODE/DJ.  If that's what you are talking about, then please note that it 
does NOT make CWSDPMI obsolete, because PMODE doesn't support virtual 
memory, so your programs will not be able to use more than the available 
physical memory.

The PMODE docs lists a few more points where it deviates from the DPMI 
spec.

IMHO, these problems make PMODE less than a general-purpose DPMI host.
