"Multiple applications" was referring to multiple DOS sessions using Desqview, where CSWDPMI was being loaded in each session (because each session was running a DJGPP application) and CWSDPMI got confused because it wasn't designed to be run multiple times simultaneously. I now use QDPMI (part of the QEMM memory manager) loaded before DesqView and no problems (except if I want to run Borland C++, I have to turn DPMI off first because it wants to use its own memory manager). AFAIK if you're not doing that then there's no problem with CWSDPMI at all. Chris C
