[ros-kernel] 16-bit dos

[Skywing]

Note that Win16 apps can communicate with Win32 apps (on NT and 9x).  Just
sticking them in a plain emulator isn't good enough (which seems to be
approximately like coLinux - zero interaction between emulated and native
programs).

What about using Dosbox? It should be quietly simply to look whether if
it's a DOS-App and then load a simple version of Dosbox without its
shell.
Dosbox is already almost running, but it has problems with OpenGL.

And for the 16bit-Header from some Apps, especially installers, I think
that wine has a workaround for it.

And for 16bit-Windows apps we could use an old 16 bit wine, perhaps even
usable in Dosbox or with Cgywin (or coLinux)?
