Could someone clear something up for me?  I though I knew quite a bit about
DOS and DJGPP.  DJGPP programs for DOS need DPMI right?  To get DPMI you
need to run the program in Windows (ugh!) or load a DPMI server in DOS, ie
CWSDPMI or something.  However I find that loading EMM386.EXE in the
CONFIG.SYS seems to be enough to get these programs working?  Is this
correct, does EMM386 provide DPMI?

Long live DOS!
