Of course DPMI doesn't work on PocketDOS, because it (by default) emulates a real mode 80286 processor only. (XMS and EMS services are provided by PocketDOS-specific drivers.) I downloaded the demo version (for x86 Windows) and it's really nice. It integrates the running DOS into the host OS with a filesystem redirector to access the host's files. On http://www.pocketdos.com/download.htm there are binaries for various platforms listed which extend PocketDOS's emulation to an 80486 processor. This should allow to use DPMI programs, too. If you don't want to use one of these (possibly too slow?), try to use DOS file managers that run in real mode only.
