It has been many, many years since a 16-bit application was ever released on 
an Intel platform. In fact, you'd probably have to go back to Visual C++ 
v2.0 if you wanted to write a 16-bit application, and then you'd have 
compatability problems with modern Windows OSes.

MESS CLI is a 32-bit application. You're confusing CLI (console-mode apps) 
with 16-bit. There's no correlation what-so-ever. I'd even venture to 
suggest it's possible to write a 64-bit console app - though my knowledge of 
64-bit windows is, well, non-existent - so I may be mistaken here.

When you say "it won't run", what exactly happens?
