I use EMM386.EXE with FRAME=NONE. But I found DPMI applications work even without loading EMM386.EXE, as long as they find cwsdpmi.exe. Since I use DR-DOS 7.03, I don't use HIMEM.SYS. There are a few programs that don't work at all if EMM386.EXE is loaded. DOSBOOT.COM (to boot NetBSD from within DOS) is one such program.
