djgpp 1.05 is required to fully take advantage of VCPI, the interface
that most EMS drivers use to talk to programs requesting 386 services.
djgpp 1.06 is now out, and enhances the VCPI support to (hopefully)
include DESQView.  Microsoft doesn't plan on supporting a functional
enough interface for non-Microsoft software, so don't expect djgpp to
run in Windows (I have no regrets).  Make sure that if you're using an
EMS emulator that you allow it to provide EMS, as VCPI is an EMS
extension.
