- No, the 32bit and 16bit protected mode applications you run every day are
- not "pretending to work." However, they are NOT working under UNMODIFIED
- msdos (as you even quoted.) 32bit requires a DOS extender, as does 16bit
- (16bit has different types like DPMI etc, not always called an extender.)
- Don't try to make people look stupid by saying something stupid yourself.
