I just called Intel's "FaxBACK Information Service" and got document #9902
(call 800-525-3019 from a Touch-Tone phone).  In that document they claim
"The Code Builder DOS Extender conforms to the DPMI (DOS Protected Mode 
Interface) specification version 0.9..."

The 1.0 spec requires all 0.9 conforming programs to work with 1.0.  So there
shouldn't be any problems in this regard (same applies to the Zortech DOS
extender).

Also see an ad for it in the July 1991 issue Dr. Dobb's Journal (page 53).
Also see an ad for the Zortech Compiler and DOS extenders in the same 
magazine page 27.
