CWSDPMI is merely a generic DPMI server, a DOS extender...
I use QDPMI that comes with QEMM97.

There is no CWSDPMI header, rather there is a "Go32v2" header...
This stub checks for the presence of any DPMI and installs CWSDPMI if
necessary.

You shouldn't have to remove any header...
The compiler should leave the raw object in the source/build
directory...

XYZ.PAS 
should become something like: 
XYZ.o 
and then be linked into:
XYZ.EXE

Its the .o file you need...

Linkers suck. =( 
I hate them.

See what you can do with the watcom linker, or get a linker over the net
and h4x0r it... You'll be doing the world a great service if you do it
right! =)
