I am compiling a C++ program with djgpp that will be made into
an exe, then called via a WinExec() call from a 16-bit Windows
3.1 program.  The intention is that this combination is supposed
to work as is under all flavors of Windows, 3.1 and up, i.e.
3.1x with or without Win32s, Win95 (both FAT and FAT32), Win98,
and NT 4.0.  I think that all of these will supply usable DPMI   
for the djgpp-compiled executable, and that it will work under
all of these.  This program doesn't do anything with graphics or
the mouse or any UI at all, so I don't think that it will hit 
problems of accessing hardware under NT.

Is it reasonable to expect the same exe  to run when called under any 
of those versions of Windows?  Any traps or pitfalls?  Seems to be 
working ok under NT so far.  

Al
