  and everything works fine, except for DJGPP programs. DPMI is
  installed (with the fastest games option on) and on (sole DPMI
  gives ON), but vim says (when CWSDPMI is not available):

> Load error: DPMI is not available.

  Fortunately, everything works under Windows 3.1, but the most
  important reason why I have bothered with installation of DR-DOS
  was TaskManager, so that I could get rid off M$ stuff.

  (should I rewrite it? It is pretty long).

> BTW, edit cannot be switched off (neither Alt+X, nor File/Exit
  does anything).

          Any thoughts, please?

                  Thanks

I downloaded vim 6, 32-bit version, got it to run, but have a different bug not
related to DPMI in any obvious way (maybe in a non-obvious way?).  I am
practically unable to handle more than one file concurrently and switch from one
to the other and back, as I frequently do in a text editor, and am doing now.
I need to try the Linux and NetBSD versions, making sure it's nothing less than
v6, so as to be comparable.

I too am running DR-DOS 7.03.  First line of my CONFIG.SYS is

?DEVICE=A:\DRDOS\EMM386.EXE FRAME=NONE

so I don't load DR-DOS DPMI and will use CWSDPMI.

Your autoexec.bat came through in messy quoted-printable, with a lot of =3D and
=0D sprinkled through, like (other parts were OK) (indention mine):
