   I'm not 100% sure, as I don't use Windows and have only the info I read    
   (some of it on BBSes), but.... isn't there something called    
   "NTVDM" that allows modern Windows (64-bit Win 10/11) to run    
   old 16-bit (DOS) software?  I'm fairly certain many Sysops are doing    
   that, and running any/all software they want to.   
      
      
      
   ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
