            Bug ID: 40252
           Summary: 16 bit dll support seems to be broken for the TI-Graph
                    Link software
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.8.1
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: user16

console output running Wlink82.exe

The TI Graph Link software fails to load several 16bit .dll files shipped with
this software:
 dll16.dll16: invalid ELF header

Perhaps it just recognizes the filetype wrong. The software is supposed to run
under Windows XP though it is in deed a Win3.1 program: 
> file Wlink82.exe *.dll
Wlink82.exe: MS-DOS executable, NE for MS Windows 3.x
dll16.dll:  MS-DOS executable, NE for MS Windows 3.x (driver)
ticalc.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

> ls *.dll
dll16.dll  ticalc.dll

program was run as this:
WINEDEBUG=fixme-all,warn+all wine Wlink82.exe

The real task the program should perform is to copy some data from the serial
port (all other functionality works). Serial port access is to my mind an
important feature for wine programs as many firmware-updaters do also need it.

any comment is appreciated.
