[DUG] 16 bit compiler and Ancient Mariners

[John Bird]

I have some legacy software that requires DOSBOX (DOS emulator to run 16 bit 
software) when running on 64 bit Windows.

I would like to add some Delphi addons already written, mainly 
console/command line apps, but all the versions of these I currently have, 
(built with Delphi 5/6/2007) say simply This program requires Win32 to run, 
ie they are 32 bit compiled even as console apps.

Is there any option in Delphi to compile for 16 bit OS or do I have to find 
Delphi 1 or 2 or whichever was the last 16 bit version?  (have D2007 and 
versions up to Seattle)

One of the main things I want is to have a command to sleep for 10 seconds 
without Clobbering the CPU - exactly what sleep(10000) would do - on Win32 
it uses a WIn32 API.   If there is no 16 bit equivalent, ie no 
implementation of sleep() in 16 bit Delphi, then I would like to know.

This question is mainly for other ancient mariners out there who like me 
lived through a lot more of IT history than they like to admit.
