For your info: I recently got the diagnostic "No DPMI" and everything
failed.

In order to locate the problem I stopped all non needed tasks.
Especially, I killed my Netscape which was trying (and failing) to print
a A4*300DPI GIF picture. Then thins came bas to the nirmal behaviour.

Thus, I think that sometime, DPMI failures comme from the fact that ALL
the DPMI memory is occupied. In the same way, I gat many page faults on
a Win95 with 32Mbyte RAM and no more than 40Mbyte of disk available, but
these page faults disappear when all the memory is available.
