Windows provides DPMI services to it's DOS sessions but plain DOS
doesn't. If your DJGPP-compiled program doesn't detect DPMI present,
it will try and load CWSDPMI.EXE to provide it. Then after it closes,
it unloads it (I think). All you need to do is have CWSDPMI.EXE in the
same directory as your compiled program. For distributing the program,
just put CWSDPMI in along with it.
