The trickest thing here will be having access to TCP/IP networking from
the 16-bit program, as much of the Windows WinSock is only 32-bit IIRC.

(Basically LRWP works as a simple TCP/IP protocol which passes over the
CGI environment for the request, and waits for the CGI result to be
passed back.)

I'm not aware of anyone who has tried to do what you're suggesting, but
providing you can find a way to make TCP/IP networking calls from your
code (or from some sort of interface to your code) it should work.
