I'm not quite sure why this is happening, but I have a suggestion. Don't DJGPP programs
automatically look through the directories in the path to see if cwsdpmi.exe is in one of
them? This way, you just have to add the directory with cwsdpmi in it to the path
(although this should be done if you have your djgpp/bin in the path, unless you've
unzipped cwsdpmi elsewhere?) and your program will load the dpmi server automatically.
