I have an application that uses btrieve. My windows 7 computer cratered. When I try to run my application on a replacement computer with Win 8. I get the msg that 16 bit programs cannot run on 64 bit computers. Is there a way to run my 16 bit app on a 64 bit computer?

Yes, there are ways to run 16-bit applications on a 64-bit computer, such as using a virtual machine or compatibility mode. Additionally, there may be versions of Pervasive.SQL that are compatible with Windows 8, so it would be worth checking with the vendor.
