    "content": "If you are just trying to run a 16bit app on a 64bit Win OS. If its an\nMS-DOS application you can try DOSBox. If not then your options for running\non windows are to install a 32bit version of windows, as already noted this\ncan be accomplished with a virtual machine, or as a dual-boot. If you have\nWin 7 Pro or Ultimate look up \"XP Mode\". If not look at VirtualBox or\nVMware Player, you will need a copy of a 32bit version of windows and any\n32bit version will work. Another option is to use Wine for Linux, again you\nwould have to install a Linux operating system, and this again can be done\neither in a VM or as a dual-boot. One nice thing about Wine is that it will\nrun 16bit windows programs in a 64bit Linux. Interfacing with hardware can\nget tricky when running a VM in Windows.\n\nI have a 5 year old dell laptop running a 2.0GHz Intel Core2Duo (dual core)\nwith 2GB of ram and it handles both XP mode and Linux on VirtualBox just\nfine, there is a little lag but not enough to be an annoyance. On the other\nhand my newer Asus netbook running a 1.8 Intel Atom (dual core) with 2GB of\nram runs just a little on the slow side.\n\nI will note that if DOSBox doesn't make it work all the options are going\nto involve a fair amount of work and a lot of overhead. The simple fact is\nthat it is not trivial to maintain compatibility with the\nolder architectures and there simply isn't enough demand for it. Most\npeople end up in one of three camps,\n\n73\nAnthony Odenthal\nKE7OSN\n503-383-1415\nPresident Amateur Radio Club at OSU\n\n\nOn Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 17:00, K5OE <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n>\n> Attention old timers:  anyone solve the 16-bit compatibility problem?\n>\n> I like this program for the Mutual Visibility feature and would like to\n> have it available in my laptop.\n>\n> 73,\n> Jerry, K5OE\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
