Me too, in order to support its author (Wolfgang). Although I no longer use it every day currently.

Zurenawa DOS extender has a few problems. The most severe one is that it doesn't work at all with the driver for SB PCI 128, which I had on one of my older computers. Wolfgang thus wrote the patching utility called patchpmw to use the PMODE/W extender after I reported its problems. Later versions using PMODE/W or DOS32A had much better compatibilities.
