16-bit

16-bit

Term used to describe an application which uses the 16:16 addressing scheme implemented under DOS and previous versions of OS/2. In fact, such applications use a 24-bit address since the segment selector and offset are normally overlapped. Such applications typically use the 16-bit instruction set implemented under the Intel 80286 processor.
