months ago I was digging the web for a postscript driver and I met a xerox postscript driver that was at that time royalty free. I was needing it to develop a module in Delphi that printing from an external program would then use the ps generated from it to perform some other conversions.
The problem is that today, that I have the time to work on this project, I'm no more able to find that driver.
Someone knows where I can find it?
Any PostScript driver should work. Install a printer with the driver, and then configure the printer to "print to file." You'll be prompted for a file name, and the output will be PostScript. The physical printer doesn't need to exist; choose the driver that supports the fanciest features you want from the drivers that come with your operating system.

I am using oracle VirtualBox, my host is ubuntu 16 LTS and my machine is windows 7 ultimate 64bit. I'm trying to add some storage to my machine, but I couldn't find a way to expand the vdi file I currently use, so i tried to add another one, but the machine doesn't seems to recognize it.
Any suggestions?
It's not clear what you did to add a vdi file (a "disk") to your vm, nor what you did that you didn't see it where you expected. Adding a new vdi is the virtual equivilent of plugging in a new, unpartitioned, unformatted hard drive. In your Win7 vm, open control panel > admin tools > computer management > disk management. You should see a new disk waiting to be partitioned and formatted.

I need run a 16bits application on a windows 64bits without virtualization or XP mode.
Do you have a solution ?
My application have an user interface and she need to print and to access the disk.
It's a old monster, we don't have the source code (Delphi) and it's very specific (made on demand).
I think about a sort of encapsulation or a "translator" between the OS and the binary.
An idea ?
I need run a 16 bit application on a Windows 64 bit system without virtualization.
That is not possible. The only way to run this application on such a system is via a virtualized environment of one form or another.
You wonder about some form of translator or adapter, but that is of course exactly what virtualization is. A 64 bit system cannot run a 16 bit process natively, ergo you need a virtualized environment in order to run it.

I've been trying to open Ruby source code on my Windows machine but a black box appear for less than a second and then close without showing anything, I've tried to open it with "command prompt with ruby" using File.open method but it keeps showing an error:
File.open is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
You just need to use command type.
C:\> type ruby_program.rb
Just go into the directory, where your .rb file lives. And then do as above.
Read this What is the Windows equivalent of the Unix command cat?.
normally you can use every normal text editor, like notepad or ultra edit.
But the source can be encrypted, then you will see many bit's.

I would like to understand why programs do not work on 16bit computers with x64 operating system installed on it..
What happens on the question 'Assembly' of the computer?
I mean, talking in assembly language, that does not work, as the processor understands this?
The reason why this is no longer possible is, because in the 64 bit long mode, the CPU doesn't support v86 and real mode, only protected mode code. In order to support this, MS would have to implement an emulator in Windows and there are already several good ones available. So they decided to drop support for this after XP.

I was wondering if it is possible to interact with your computer through Lua (Through SciTE or Sublime Text, I suppose...)? For instance, can you play a .mp3, or open a file with Lua?
Yes, through the use of the operating system library os.
You can use os.execute([command]) to run any command from the host operating system's shell (think terminal or command prompt).
There's more information on using this library in the Lua online reference manual.
