Well, I have this working, right now it's just not trivial to use, and
I wasn't sure it was worth making things more complicated.

Actually around 26Kb.

Well, I disagree here, but I think having an option to imbed it (or other
DPMI providers) should be discussed. The way it currently works is if it
can't find DPMI, it WRITES CWSDPMI.EXE to the application directory, then
executes it. This wouldn't work on CDROM, write protected Net drives, or
write protected floppies, but I didn't see that as being a huge problem.
This is still all in the playing with it stage as far as I'm concerned,
not ready for production code.
