Thunking from a 32 bit process down to 16 bit functions is deep voodoo
and there are major differences between Windows 95 + descendents and Windows
NT.

For most situations, I'd recommend instead creating a separate 16 bit
program that does the calls and communicate through COM or a pipe or
similar.
