No, they are not. The extra features that contribute to the size of
djgpp executables are clearly outlined in the DJGPP FAQ (v2/faq202b.zip)
chapter 8.15, as well as methods you can take to reduce the size.
The only part of the standard startup code directly concerned with DPMI
is the 2k stub loader which detects whether DPMI exists in the current
environment, and if not, loads cwsdpmi.exe. You _can_ bind an actual
DPMI host into the executable called PMODE/DJ, which is available on
SimTel mirrors. This increases the size of the executable and is not a
full-featured DPMI host.
