But why doesn't CWSDPMI check to see if another DPMI host is already present?
Of course DJGPP programs wouldn't try to load it in this case, but if the
user enters `cwsdpmi' on the command line, it will either fail (like under
Windows) or succeed, in which case there will be two DPMI host in the memory
at once.  The reason I'm asking this is that MWDPMI used to do the same
thing, but I changed it in the sources available at
http://www.helsinki.fi/~peuha/english/djgpp/mwdpmi00.zip ; if there's any
reason why it should try to load even when it detects a foreign DPMI host,
I'll have to change that back.
