Spice86 is some sort of tracking emulator like Dosbox giving you the ability to replace original code parts with C# - i don't think that Spice86 can emulate Win16 currently

IDA Pro disassembler fully supports 16Bit DOS executables (they only removed the support from the recent free versions - thats why most using IDA Pro Free 5.0) but Hexrays the decompiler does sadly not support 16bit code (intentionaly) but

im not the author of these blogs but love to read his tales of reconstructing the C code part by part using IDA/Ghidra and some of his own tools - maybe others are interested in reading too :) read from bottom up

he should just use the original system - porting to newer system always happen AFTER getting it to build on the original platform

maybe a step by step upgrade from 2.x->4.x->5.x->6.x needed there are subtile changes between the very early studio versions but when reaching VS2005/2008 everything is fine for upgrade
