Update:

After a trivial amount of use, it seems this modified version
of PMODETSR stays resident and can be used repeatedly for
single-use execution of DPMI applications, i.e., one DPMI application
after another.  *But*, it *seems* it's not reentrant.  When a PM
TSR is loaded, executing another DPMI application causes a lockup.
I haven't checked to see if there are any memory leaks etc.
I probably won't be doing much more with this.  I think it has
served it's purpose.  Perhaps, someone with more familiarity with
PMODETSR can add a '-r' resident or '-p' permanent flag in the future.
