No, the 32bit and 16bit protected mode applications you run every day are
not "pretending to work."  However, they are NOT working under UNMODIFIED
msdos (as you even quoted.)  32bit requires a DOS extender, as does 16bit
(16bit has different types like DPMI etc, not always called an extender.)
Don't try to make people look stupid by saying something stupid yourself.

Tim.
