Then you're probably SOL.  Unless Odin is expanded in scope to also make
native executables out of Win16 programs.

They'd be 16-bit PM programs, of course, but the amount of work required to
accomplish this would probably exceed that required to get Win32 working.

Not likely to happen, since Win16 programs can already be run under OS/2.
