If you use MS-DOS outside of Windows, you may encounter the following error message: No DPMI - Get csdpmi*b.zip "DPMI" stands for DOS Protected Mode Interface; it's basically a means of running DOS in Protected Mode (as opposed to Real Mode), which allows programs to share resources in extended memory without conflicting with one another. Running HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE is not enough. The "CSDPMI*B.ZIP" refers to files written by Charles Sandmann to provide DPMI services for 32-bit computers (i.e., 386SX, 386DX, 486SX, etc.). Download the binary file (the source code is also available): binaries http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/dl/ofc/simtel/v2misc/csdpmi5b.zip ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/csdpmi5b.zip source http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/dl/ofc/simtel/v2misc/csdpmi5s.zip ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/csdpmi5s.zip and extract CWSDPMI.EXE, CWSDPR0.EXE and CWSPARAM.EXE from the ZIP file. Put all 3 CWS*.EXE files in the same directory and you're all set. If you're running Windows and you normally use a DOS session (i.e., you get to a DOS prompt with a resizable window or you press Alt-Enter to switch to full-screen mode), you don't need the CWS*.EXE files at all, since Windows uses DPMI already.
