If CWSDPMI is in a directory your path then it will be found.  That's all 
there is to it.  If c:\dos in not in your path, and is not your current 
directory, then your program is finding another DPMI server already 
loaded in memory when you run it so it does not need to load CWSDPMI.  If 
you are launching from a DOS box then windows(3.x/95/NT) is providing 
DPMI services, otherwise look in your config.sys (or whatever) for a DPMI 
server like QDPMI.
