How can I change a Windows .exe to something that is compatible?
The Title says it all. I have followed the instructions from this site http://www.myabandonware.com/howto/, but then I get this notification that the program file is a Windows executable, and one that does not work on DOSbox. How do I get it to one that is compatible?
please help! |

You don't.
The only way to run Windows programs in DOSBox is to run Windows itself inside DOSBox and then the programs in there. |

Oh, relating, but totally different question, 5th.
Is it possible to transform Win16 format to Win32, without decompiling? I have a very little knowledge about difference between it, so I have no idea, if it even theoretically possible... |

Tsk. Pity. I had slight hope that I can start all this Win16 games in my brand new Win8.1. Will not happen. Ok, thank you!
