Hello Serentty,

these 16-bit apps from Windows 1.0 are real-mode executables, hence require
vm86 mode. This won't work on modern Linux distros with 64-bit kernel by
design.

You could probably make it work by using a 32-bit Linux kernel and Wine 3.0
(Wine 3.1+ adds requirement for DOSBox). You also need 'vm.mmap_min_addr=0' to
allow DOS apps to be mapped into low memory range etc.

Alternatively install Windows 1.0 using DOSBox along with FreeDOS/MSDOS on a
virtual disk and run the applications from there.

Regards
