Veering off topic....
If I understand correctly, NT is totally 32-bit, and runs 16-bit
programs under some sort of emulation layer. Would it be a possible to
write a win32 program that loads and runs win16 programs? If it helped,
there could be a wine-specific dll to do things like modify the LDT,
etc. Even though we now have a solution for the 64K user heap, I still
think I'd rather see a WOW-like scheme.
Another weird thing that keeps popping into my head is native ntdll. If
we can trap int 2F (or whatever), then it may be possible to use NT's
ntdll.dll, and hence every NT DLL.
