 16-bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
16-bit processors have been almost entirely supplanted in the personal computer industry, but remain in use in a wide variety of embedded applications.
In computer architecture, 16-bit is an adjective used to describe integers, memory addresses or other data units that are at most 16 bits (2 octets) wide, or to describe CPU and ALU architectures based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size.
In an unsigned representation, these values are the integers between 0 and 65535; using two's complement, possible values range from -32768 to 32767.

 exec(n) Manual Page
Additionally, when calling a 16-bit DOS or Windows 3.X application, all path names must use the short, cryptic, path format (e.g., using ``applba~1.def'' instead of ``applbakery.default'').
In order to achieve pseudo-redirection for 32-bit applications, the 32-bit application must instead be written to take command line arguments that specify the files that it should read from and write to and open those files itself.
32-bit applications always see standard input as already closed, and any standard output or error is discarded, no matter where in the pipeline the application occurs or what redirection symbols are used by the caller.

 ODBC For Windows 95 [AVDF Article]
As 16 bit applications cannot read from these values in the 32 bit registry, they will only use the INI file entries (it would not matter if the registry entries were deleted).
A 32 bit ODBC driver could be multithreaded when running in a 32 bit process space, but single threaded when running in a 16 bit process space, or it could be single threaded only.
This code produced no entries in the registry (as 16 bit programs cannot make use of the 32 bit registry, this is to be expected), and the following entries in the

 Modifying an MS-DOS Application or 16-bit Driver
During its initialization, the 16-bit driver or MS-DOS application calls RegisterModule, specifying the name of the VDD, the name of the VDD initialization routine, and the name of the VDD dispatch routine to be called each time the 16-bit application or driver calls DispatchCall.
These functions can be included in a 16-bit application program or driver to bridge the gap between the 16- and 32-bit environments.
An unmodified MS-DOS application’s attempts to directly access the hardware are intercepted by the VDM and routed to the appropriate VDD.

 32 bit applications, 16 bit applications
A major effort has been made to replace all old fashioned 16 bit applications with 32 bit applications, and it is possible to say that the majority of applications available to NICE95 computers are today 32 bit.
16 bit applications all run in the same, shared, address space meaning that the crash of a 16 bit application can easily bring down the entire system.
When you use a 16 bit application you will only be able to see the 8.3 short filenames.

 Q101672 INFO: Frequently Asked Visual Basic Questions
With 16-bit Visual Basic applications, some files such as Ole2.dll require registration via a.reg file such as Ole2.reg.
These.reg files contain information to be stored in the 16-bit Windows registration database.
If your application loads a DLL or other distributable file in code, you will need to make a note of it and include the loaded file, as well as any dependencies that the file has.

 Wait Locks and No-Wait Locks
If a 16-bit Windows application uses thunking to get to the 32-bit engine on Windows NT or Windows 95, Btrieve is aware of the fact that the request was made from the 16-bit subsystem and converts the wait lock to a no-wait lock just as if the application was running on Windows 3.x.
Therefore, when a 16-bit application is running on Windows 3.x, wait locks are "converted" by the Btrieve for Windows workstation engine to no-wait locks.
Native Windows 32-bit applications are all running as separate processes on Windows NT and Windows 95.

Although it is clearer symbology to use "bit" for the bit and "b" for the byte, "b" is often used for bit and "B" for byte.
The bit is the smallest unit of storage currently used in computing, although much research is ongoing in quantum computing with qubits.
A single bit is a one or a zero, a true or a false, a "flag" which is "on" or "off", or for that matter any two mutually exclusive states.

 Recently Reported Security Vulnerabilities
Since the loader checks execute permissions and a 16-bit application normally gets opened first by the loader, it may appear as if execute permission is checked for 16-bit files.
For example, if a 16-bit application is double-clicked in the Windows Explorer, the application will not be allowed to start without execute permission set.
This makes it possible to load and execute 16-bit files without execute permission.

 Experiencing problems w/ 16-bit executables
We believe that if the 16-bit application is running in advance, it is hooking into the message queue and causing WinVNC's subsequent attempt to set up a hook to trigger the GPF -- even though the call itself 'succeeds'.
The 16-bit application in question is not built with Microsoft libraries (it was built with older Borland 16-bit libraries), and should not (directly) be calling MSVCRT.DLL, which is 32-bit anyway!
I have run the WinVNC executable as a service or application, and have used DebugLevel=10 in the registry to notice that (as far as WinVNC goes) the GPF dialog pauses WinVNC execution at a different point every time.

 Badly-behaved 16-bit Application Prevents System Shutdown
Once the application misbehaves and you attempt to shut down Windows NT, the shutdown may halt or hang, and it may be necessary to physically turn off the power to the computer to regain use of Windows NT.
This may enable a clean shutdown to take place when the application misbehaves, but may not be a suitable workaround if installed memory is limited on the computer experiencing the problem.
After requesting a shutdown, a dialog box with the application's name in the title bar appears stating that the Windows application cannot respond to the end task request.

 Monitoring 16-bit Windows Applications
You can monitor 16-bit Windows applications by identifying them by their thread identifier (ID) while they are running, or by running each application in a separate address space.
In addition to the 16-bit applications, each NTVDM process includes a heartbeat thread that interrupts every 55 milliseconds to simulate a timer interrupt, and the Wowexec.exe thread, which helps to create 16-bit tasks and to handle the delivery of the 16-bit interrupt.
This limits the performance of multiple 16-bit applications running in the same NTVDM process, although this limitation becomes an issue only when the processor is busy.
