   Windows 64-bit removed the ability to run RM16   
   DOS executables.   
      
   It might be related to VM86 not being available in   
   long mode.   
      
   Would it theoretically be easier to run PM16 programs   
   (instead of RM16) in 64-bit Windows if they had been   
   written "nicely"?   
      
   I'm only interested in console mode. Only interested in   
   programs without bugs and that follow all published   
   rules.   
      
   Can someone create a definition of "nice" that we could   
   have had in 1983?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
