1. csdpmi*b.zip is the binary distribution file for CWSDPMI. CWSDPMI is a
DPMI server, much like DOS4GW. Download the csdpmi*b.zip file from whereever
you downloaded DJGPP.

2. You don't have to, but if they don't have a DPMI server on their system
then your program will not run. A Windows DOS box contains a DPMI server,
but most DJGPP programs run better under DOS mode so CWSDPMI is recommended.
CWSDPMI needs to be in your runtime directory or in a PATH directory.
