-A '''16 bit application''' is any software written for [[MS-DOS]], [[OS/2]] 1.x or early versions of [[Microsoft Windows]] which originally ran on the [[16-bit]] [[Intel 8088]] and [[Intel 80286]] [[microprocessor]]s. Such applications used a 20-[[bit]] or 24-bit [[x86 memory segmentation|segment or selector-offset]] address representation to extend the range of addressable memory locations beyond what was possible using only 16-bit addresses. Programs containing more than <math>2^{16}</math> [[byte]]s (64 [[kilobyte]]s) of instructions and data therefore required special instructions to switch between their 64-kilobyte [[memory segment|segment]]s, increasing the complexity of programming 16-bit applications.
