[ros-kernel] Re: Sharing code with wine + 16 bit support

[Steven E. <Ste...@kn...>]

Yes wine does. But TWIN is closer to the way NT does it.

Take a look at Willows TWIN, It runs on POSIX and MAC-OS 9.x systems and
unlike wine it can emulate a x86 CPU for dos/win16 apps. It runs on x86,
Sparc, PPC, and Alpha. I know this wouldnt be a true ntvdm but at least if
someone wanted to run a 16bit app it might be possible.


>and the 16-bit only DLL's.

Does wine support 16bit apps?  We don't, and I don't see any need to 
either.  It has been many many years since we left the 16bit world 
behind.  We finally even got rid of the ISA bus.  I think we can drop
16bit 
windows/dos as well.
