BTW you can run 16-bit Windows apps in Wine under 64-bit Linux, provided your kernel version is <= 3.13, or >= 3.15 and you disable a security enhancement preventing 16-bit code execution by issuing (from root, possibly in your start-up scripts): echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 Some 16-bit programs under Wine might also need: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr Edit: not sure about kernel version 3.14.
