	I thought it stood for Charles Whatever-his-middle-name-is 
Sandmann...  CWSDPMI will probably only be found with your programmes - 
you probably DO want to distribute your programmes with it so people with 
no DPMI installed can still run your programme.  The DJGPP stub will, if 
no other DPMI provider is extant, search around for CWSDPMI, load it, run 
the programme, and, afterwards, unload CWSDPMI.
