It's a version of my go32 that's been modified to support DPMI
(exclusively, I think).  It has the following disadvantages:

1. It assumes that DOS will use .com files before .exe files.  I wish
it were called go32dpmi.exe instead of go32.com, but I had no say in
the matter.

2. I think it expects to call go32.exe if there isn't any DPMI server.
I wish the DPMI code were merged in to the official go32, but I had
no say in the matter.

3. Nobody posted any diffs so that others could recreate the binary,
especially me.  The first I heard of it was when they announced the
location of the binary.  Since they're not the only ones working on
DPMI support, they got all the other workers upset.  I wish they had
cooperated with the rest of us, but I had no say in the matter.
