How to use 16-bit program in Windows XP

  
Windows XP The fly in the ointment is that for some people who still need to use DOS programs, Windows XP program compatibility is still not very good for most "ages" programs. Support, some can't even run at all, which is a pity. In fact, Windows XP does not just provide a compatibility wizard on the compatibility of the program. It has another weapon, which is to use the start command to execute the previous 16-bit program. For example, Turbo C 2.0 (TC) is still a software used by many schools to teach C language. In Windows XP, we regret to find that it can't run. MS-DOS provided in Windows XP like Win9X in the past. The way the mode is now called the command interpreter runs, we find that the result of the run is a flower screen. In fact, we should use the start command to run TC. In the command interpreter, type: start/seperate d:\\Tc2\\tc.exe. Press Alt+Enter to switch between full screen and window. There are many usages of start, and the main parameter used is separate. This is to start a 16-bit program in a separate memory space, and the shared parameter is to start a 16-bit program in the shared memory space. In fact, you can start any program with the start command, as long as it exists. For example, if you want to start Notepad (notepad program), but can't find it in the attachment, type start notepad in the start running menu, Windows XP will open Notepad.
