The are some things which will not work under XP (or any other windows flavour) but, for the most part, you can write/run dos programs under windows.. XP or otherwise.

Hi bp628,

Welcome to the board.

Check the attachment, the 16-bit executable works also on Win Xp.

The 16-bit linker for DOS programming:

Depends on how you do your DOS programming.  For the most part, M$ did some pretty good effort for those programs to work.   

Another thought comes to mind.  Microsoft is on the verge of obsoleting DOS style programming.  What is your interest in the 16 bit programming??

If you post some code, we can help you to get it, to assemble and link.
