Not exactly "providing", but rather "allowing" it, in principle.
CWSDPR0.exe is a DPMI server that doesn't force the DPMI client
(i.e. the DJGPP application) into Ring 3. But for that to work,
CWSDPR0.exe itself needs to run at Ring 0. If the DOS environment
you're running it in restricts it to Ring 3, there's nothing it can do
about that.

I.e. I'd suspect your DOS (DrDOS, wasn't it) to be the real culprit,
here.
