So does DJGPP. If DJGPP isn't automatically loading cwsdpmi when it
runs then you've set something up wrong. As long as cwsdpmi is 1) in
the same directory as the program using it, or 2) in the PATH, it WILL
be loaded if no other DPMI is detected. If both of these are the case
for you, please post a report on your configuration to the newsgroup as
described in the FAQ (v2/faq201b.zip) section 6.12.
If you are trying to distribute your DJGPP-compiled programs, all you
need is to place cwsdpmi.exe in the same directory as the program and it
will be loaded automatically. You should also place emu387.dxe in there
too if your program uses floating point code.
Currently, cwsdpmi cannot be bound into an EXE. There is a program
called PMODE which can be bound onto a DJGPP program, but it has a few
limitations; if you want to experiment with it, it can be obtained from
SimTel. Consider however that many commercial programs use DOS4GW as
their 32-bit extenders and don't have any problem with it.
