JEMMEX.EXE is a hybrid of JEMM386.EXE and HIMEMX.EXE. Just putting
"NOEMS" doesn't mean it's the same as HIMEMX alone. It's still in
protected (V86) mode, it's still probably using UMBs, and it still
provides VCPI.

However, in my experience (I think it was trying to use Georg's
Flwriter with bundled OW-compiled GS386.EXE, search BTTR Forum if
curious), DOS/32A doesn't play well under "NOEMS" due to bugs.

So you probably shouldn't use that setup here, use XMS only
(presumably HIMEMX). If you need UMBs, try Uwe Sieber's UMBPCI. If you
need EMS, manually load JEMM386 later.

dos-utils/ow/Makefile ... seems strange. Are you not aware of
(Info-Zip) unzip '-x' (exclude) option? In Linux, you'll probably have
to do this:  -x '*foo*'  '*bar*'  (at least that will save you from
having to 'rm' directly afterwards)

CWSDPMI is not a big file, and most DJGPP-built utils should be
standalone (besides needing that). But OW and DJGPP apps don't play
well, usually. DJGPP is "DPMI exclusively" while OW is "unofficial DOS
extender extensions required". Probably the best way to make them
cooperate is use HDPMI32 residently (from Japheth's HX) or bind
Causeway or (third-party) D3X. I mean, I think the app will crash if
you shell out and try to run the other kind, they weren't really
designed to be mixed environment. I mean, some environments support
both (Windows, DOSEMU, OS/2, ??), but in real DOS it's not so obvious.
