For example, at one time I had several of the DOOM generation of games working under CWSDPMI. It required some CWSDPMI hacks to work around bugs and improper DPMI calls. I haven't had time to test it in years - so it seems that recent versions don't work well (or don't work when nested). If you run cwsdpmi before the DOS4GW program (just as 1 pass TSR...) does it work or crash? What sort of crash?
