I would guess the weirdness was caused by a previous "dirty" shutdown borking something. > This allows running in a 32-bit environment, and using some old > 16-bit program you might have. I have multiple ways to run Win16 and DOS apps, none of which are time- limited in any way: WineVDM, DOSbox, full installs of various DOS and Win16/Win32 systems on VMs, and a PC from 1997 running honest-to-god Windows 95. > You can boot the VM for 30 minutes, as many times in one day as you > would want.

When I sit down to work it often takes me longer than that to really get going; having to restart a VM that often is a hard no from me. -- Looks like fun, for certain values of "fun".
