Run 16-bit command line application on Windows 7 64-bit
I have 16-bit command line tools that I want to run on Windows开发者_Go百科 7 x64
I don't want to use a Virtual Machine
Can the 16-bit tools be wrapped in some way?
Maybe a 16-bit CMD.exe emulator

This may help you. (Japanese website)
Have you tried downloading XP Mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx) for Windows 7? I know it works for 16bit GUI applications, but I don't know about command line programs.
also, you might want to look at DosBox (http://www.dosbox.com). It runs old DOS games, i don't know how it interacts with Windows, however, so I don't know if you can access the file system, etc from DosBox.
good luck, Mark
You must use some kind of a virtual machine. 16-bit is just not supported on Win64.
Try this if you are up to productivity apps. Its a variant of Dosbox but built for old business apps
