This article was also made on my personal blog: https://hltj.me/nostalgic/2019/05/30/dos-win16-on-win64.html .
I believe many people know that in the NT-based 32-bit Windows, you can through the NTVDM , then you can also run DOS programs WOW running 16-bit Windows (Windows 1.x ~ 3.x) program.
But no NTVDM and WOW in 64-bit Windows.
So some people ( leecher1337 ) developed NTVDMx64 - the NTVDM can run in 64-bit Windows environment.

But it may have some impact system, it referred to may cause some DPMI program to crash in the README in the project. README also explains why the DOSBox has also transplant NTVDM.
The otya of WineVDM step further, not only can run DOS programs on 64-bit Windows, you can also run 16-bit Windows programs.

FIG using the theme running on Windows 3.2 WineVDM clock calculator 64 in Windows 10:
This is WineVDM Wine project of the same name program enhanced version (in its README also mentioned), you can also run DOS programs.
It is worth mentioning that WineVDM itself is 32-bit programs, but can run properly in 64-bit Windows. Since it is a 32-bit program, then of course you can run in 32-bit environment, only for 32-bit Microsoft Windows, it does not need, as it has NTVDM and WOW program can run DOS and 16-bit Windows program. However, ReactOS will be able to come in handy :
