"N"ew "T"echnology

Windows 1.0 through 3.11
Windows 95 (abc)
Windows 98, 98SE
Windows ME

Were written atop the DOS Kernel, meaning DOS boots the machine and is

NT OS's use a completely different Kernel that is 32bit (and there are 64 bit).

It depends on what they do.

You could try porting the code using a number of compilers that are written
for the current generation of windows.

You could take a look at Liberty Basic?
