Wine doesn't run 16 bit programs.

If you want to run DOS programs written for 286/386 processors, take a
look at DOSBox, which emulates a 286/386 with a graphical screen (it
uses SDL as its screen interface) and emulates a SountBlaster sound
card. The website, www.dosbox.com , has a wiki. Its a standard package
for Fedora and may be included in the package list for other Linux
distros.
