Believe it or not, the 16-bit utilities DO work in Windows 7, so long as you have the 32-bit version!
My mechanic runs a 20-year-old FP-DOS app I built for him. I told him I couldn't test it any more because it wouldn't run under Windows 7. He went digging in Google, found out how to do it, bought a copy of Win7-32, installed it, and Voila! I was dumfounded.
That is also true for Win 8, although there is something in the setup you have to enable/unlock first.
