Well, I haven't tried it, but I am under the impression that the EMM won't
know about the page tables CWSDPMI has set up, and won't work properly.
It's on my list of things to look at, but I typically don't get time to solve 
problems like this until someone is hurting for it.  I was hoping it could
hold off for the re-write to a full DPMI V1.0 server, which Morten has 
already started writing.
