I've never seen* a modern program written this way. GNU stopped assuming it a while back, in deference to the Alpha. For that matter, Amigas have allowed people to use 16-bit ints for years. The reason GNU C won't work on a 286 is that the 286 isn't *capable* of running a program that big - same reason there's no

In this light, MS-DOS is a 16 bit OS. Plain and simple. Now, you might want to throw other 'required features' into this definition, but things like For instance, MS-DOS on a 386 is _not_ a 32 bit OS although it does have 32 bit applications.

Software Installation Program Error-16 Bit
Even worse, most programs came with their own "device drivers", in that they talked to the hardware directly themselves. When the PC/XT came out, it had a faster bus (16 bit vs 8 bit) and this altered the timing of applications that had to use software timing loops because Microsoft's real-time-clock handler

Turbo C 2.01 is actually a pretty good ANSI89/ISO90 conforming 16-bit compiler for MS-DOS.
