True.  However, it doesn't run in a 'window', it runs in a DOS shell.  Any
person viewing this might be deceived into thinking that the program
can in fact be run in DOS, and there you are.

For cryin' out loud - what's so durn tough about distributing CWSDPMI with
the program?  All those commercial games out there distribute DOS4GW,
and their users don't run into problems.  I have contemplated distributing
some of my programs, to the point of actually creating distribution files, and
I just include CWSDPMI in the distribution, with instructions in the README
to keep it in the same directory as the program.  The only problem is that I
can't friggin' upload from Genie to the Net... :(
