There are reasons.  CWSDPMI, at least at first, won't provide
16 bit DPMI services.  So 16 bit clients like Borland C++
will still need some other DPMI host, and QDPMI fills this
niche nicely because of its extremely small resident footprint
(compared to Borland's server which comes with BC).
However, disabling QDPMI is very simple (type ``QDPMI OFF''),
so I don't see any problem here, either.
