Perl 6: second-system syndrome done right
Too late for that. They're already up to at least third-system syndrome…
-
It's second-systems all the way down...

I just got VC running on Mac OSX. Albeit using DOSBox which should be available for 64 bit Windows too
-
You can run anything on anything with the right emulator
-
Isn't that what NTVDM should have been?
-
Maybe? I'unno *shrugs*
-
I think there's some sort of legacy console option in Command Prompt's settings. Dunno, I've already wiped Win10 out and decided to hold on until SP1 at least.

NTVDM is not supported in 64-bit versions of Windows, which do not support 16-bit code of any kind, including MS-DOS programs.
So it's DOSBox or another emulator, or nothing at all

Doesn't look like that sort of option exists in Command Prompt. Not on Win8.1 64-bit, anyway.

Right, I was thinking of @FrostCat's Win10 problems.
You need a proper virtual machine to run a 16-bit application on a 64-bit system, since the 8086 mode of the processor it was using isn't available. Unless you screw with VT-x, but I know nothing about it.

I deliberately installed the 32-bit version of Win10 on a test machine at the office. If I need to run 16-bit apps, though I have a 32-bit Win 7 VM on my desktop, and that's what I would recommend to any poor soul who has to run one.

Here's a nickel kid, go buy yourself a DOSBox.

That's gonna help a lot with the Windows program I need to run.

Set up a Hyper-V and run Windows 3.1 in it?
-
You can install Win3.x on DOSBox just fine. Probably also Win95, but I'd just use a VM for that.

Actually my work PC doesn't have SLAT and can't Hyper-V. For a couple more days, then I get a core i5 to replace this POS Pentium.

That's why naming it "Perl 6" was a less than stellar idea IMHO.
Perl One.
Your numbering looks funny.
Everyone knows that 360 comes between 1 and One.
