But of course even w/o the DOS extender issues you won't be able to run a 16-bit app w/o a 16-bit subsystem (which 64-bit versions of Windows doesn't supply). Of course it's amusing to see such a program running under a Win32 VM... Win64 running Win32 VM which runs a Win16 VM to run app... Perhaps the wierdest part is despite having several layers of VMs, the end result is likely to run faster than it did natively on older hardware...
