Bernie was right, _LOADING_ cwsdpmi _BEFORE_ executing eg. djpeg32 does not
flush the DR-DOS nwcache. Cwsdpmi will correctly release from memory after
it is used. So, this way it works, but if a program requires cwsdpmi, I must
always load the cwsdpmi first!
IMO, this is no solution, but only a trick to save my nwcache. But it
requires so much mem!
In conventional:
cwsdpmi V0.90+ r3 (from ARACHNE) requires 49.200 bytes of mem.
cwsdpmi V0.90+ r4 (from DJGPP) requires 41.024 bytes of mem.
But... in umb:
cwsdpmi V0.90+ r3 (from ARACHNE) requires 84.432 bytes of mem.
cwsdpmi V0.90+ r4 (from DJGPP) requires 84.720 bytes of mem.
*** ADVICE: REPLACE ARACHNE'S CWSDPMI WITH NEWER VERSION TO SAVE 8 KB. ***

The trick does not work with ViewHTML and Acrodos, they don't use cwsdpmi.
