Well, any app that is actually executing on your server which is running
a 32-bit Windows Server OS is a 32-bit or 16-bit application. 16-bit
applications run in an emulated DOS machine on 32-bit Windows. This
16-bit mode is fairly transparent - you will see NTVDM.EXE running in
Task Manager and the 16-bit processes underneath it. You just run the
app like any other.

Similarily, when running 64-bit Windows then your apps *that are
executing on the server* will either be 64-bit or 32-bit. 16-bit apps
fall off the end and don't run at all. 32-bit apps run in an emulated
32-bit machine along the same lines as above.

Having said all that, it's very unlikely that any VFP apps will be
executing on the server. The EXE might be there, the data might be
there, but if you are sitting running the app from an XP machine or
whatever then it's running on the OS of the machine you're on. In those
terms, it doesn't matter a damn what the server OS is. It could be Linux
with Samba file shares.
