16-bit windows applications aren't supported natively by 64-bit windows, but OTVDM (based on Wine code) will run most of them fine.

I've been using otvdm (aka winevdm) and it is very good. It works like the original ntvdm did when running on non-x86 platforms. It emulates the processor and translates 16-bit api calls into 32-bit api calls so things work as you'd expect.

winevdm allows me to run all 3.11 apps on windows :) Its amazing - works even for 32bit era.
