DPMI support is automatically incorporated into every program the
compiler creates.  There is nothing special at all that you need to do
to invoke this.  Just make sure you have a DPMI host available to your
programs and off they run!

If, on the other hand, you actually need to interface with the DPMI host
itself, DJGPP has a host of functions for this purpose.  Look up the
following things in the libc docs:  all functions starting with __dpmi,
all functions starting with _go32_dpmi, and the DPMI Overview.  After
that, read the FAQ's chapters on hardware and low-level programming, and
follow the pointers to several very good user-designed references on the
subject.
