Hmm...are you quite sure of this Hans, I have the 5.0 version and it does
support creating of 16-bit dos executables. 32bit and 16bit extended dos
apps can be created by using the addon Borland powerpack for DOS.

So even if 5.5 does not provide support for 16 bit dos apps, it may be
possible to compile 16 and 32 bit DPMI apps using the powerpack for dos
addon.

Best Wishes,
Grendel
