Nah, they don't have the 16-bit VDM anymore :-(. You'll have to install a VM... 64-bit Linux should run it though X|

Wow, this is from the 1958 world expo in Brussels. My mom used to tell me I visited this in a pram. Can't remember it though :-(

64-bit linux .. run a COM program? I am surprised. How would they even switch to 16bit mode?
Virtualising an 8086 is not really hard (the bleeding thing had no registers to speak off). I'll test it and come back to you... :-) Now excuse me while I get a life.

Well I dunno, ever tried to write an emulator for it? Calculating the flags is a pain.. and to go through that just to support a bunch of old programs that no one uses? Ok maybe
You would'nt believe what the amount of pain open source guys can stand.

Haven't got a single X64 Linux lying around anymore, and building one just for this sounds like overkill. But DOSEMU version 1.4.0 has an X64 version, which uses emulation for real 86 mode, and runs DPMI code natively.

Number Two reminds me on my first visit to Elbonia - ehm Lithuania - back in 1992. When I was about to pay a bill somewhere, they calculated the sum with that thing quite quickly (I hope correctly...) and then showed me that thing, which I could not read....
