    Reading registry keys under msdos (16 bits)?

    I came across a doubt, could it be possible to read registry values, keys under ms-dos (16 bit's)?
    I know this may sound odd but that's what is it, a doubt and something that i really would like to know about and if it is possible, how to do it.
    I really can't find any info about this.

    thanks for the time

    It's not possible to call any modern WinAPI from 16-bit code. Backwards compatibility with old 16-bit Windows programs is provided, but the registry is newer than that.
