No, you don't. Not if you have cwsdpmi in the PATH, or in the same directory
that DJGPP app is in.

Yes, that's OK.  CWSDPMI will have unloaded itself automatically after
serving DPMI for one application.  If it hadn't (i.e. you put it into
resident mode), you'ld have noticed that, since Winblows cannot
possibly boot itself with a DPMI server already present in the system.

No. To see, run "mem / c" in a Windows DOS box: you'll see that
there's no CWSDPMI consuming memory.
