DOS ain't dead

HX DOSXtender - and Win 16 graphical apps, possible ? (DOSX)

Hi ! I'm a very new adept, and this is my first message to the forum.

Yesterday installed HXDOS & HXGUI components and started to play with it in raw DOS (Win 98 SE's DOS 7.1) . Before I pull my hair out completely though, just a question : under HX, I can't seem to execute but the legacy DOS-16 stub off Win 16 graphical appz (New Executable) like, e.g., Winver.exe or GNU-Chess.

So, my guess is there is no support for Win 16 GUI executables, is this right ?

Any known way to run those in DOS either with HX or some other system ?

Thanks go to the developper and all contributors,
