No, not in this case. The NTVDM does simply not exist for 64-bit Windows. The
reason is related to switching the processor's mode between 16-, 32- and 64-bit.
'scuse me? are you saying that the system administrator would not install
virtual box or something similar so as to enable the use of 16bit apps? that is
part of "proper configuration" after all ;)
