   Ok, in that case, could Microsoft support CM16 if they   
   wanted to?   
      
   And if so, what sort of things could I run under it? Would   
   it need a new API or would the OS/2 1.0 API be suitable   
   for the task at hand?   
      
   Again, I'm only interested in console mode applications.
