  Can you please give some context for that.  I don't really get
what's going on.

  The "FOR" built-in command can be used to read lines from a file and
concatenate them into a single line, if that's what you're after.

  It's probably an old 16-bit DOS program.

  This is a hardware limitation.  When in "long mode" (64-bit mode),
x86 processors cannot execute 16-bit code.  AMD decided it was time to
make a break from the world of 16-bit when they designed their 64-bit
x86 extensions.  (And Intel copied AMD.)
