You should install SMARTDRV before running cwsdpmi as a TSR.  It isn't
necessary to load cwsdpmi into memory to use it; as long as it is in
your djgpp/bin directory, and the bin directory is in your PATH.  But as
long as you load SMARTDRV first, it should work fine.  I can't see why
SMARTDRV wouldn't run with cwsdpmi present, though...

BTW, DJGPP should have no problems working under 386MAX; after all the
latter has a fully DPMI 1.0-compliant DPMI host.  What exactly have you
been having trouble with?  Posting some of the error messages you get
would help us try to solve your problems.

Hope this helps!
