Some types of programs running under Windows have no real choice but to
use DPMI.  This was more common under Win 3.x than under Win95, but it's
still the case part of the time, because even though Win95 has added
quite a bit better native memory management, it still doesn't allow
doing everything a program might need to.
    Later,
    Jerry.
