Windows 2000 is a true 32 bit OS, and it will only run 32 bit applications. If
you have your program compiled as 16 bit, it won't run on Windows 2000.  This
applies to games as well.  Windows 2000 will only run 32 bit games, so no DOS or
16 bit Windows games will run on Windows 2000.  Of course, one would also need
to get the latest video and sound drivers for it.
