You can get this information at run-time - and *only* at run-time since
one and the same executable can run both on DOS (with and without DPMI)
and on OS/2.  If the variable `__osmode' contains a nonzero value, it
is OS/2; if it is DOS and the variable `__emx_env' and $0180 is nonzero,
it is DPMI (RSX).
