Ok, thanks.  While there may be such a program out there, I have not seen
one for PC systems to the best of my knowledge; Photoshop definitely is not
one of them for either Mac or PC since it only allows one to do a few
functions in 16-bit.  The rest of the Photoshop operations like layers and
channels, the use and application of many filter and plugins, and the
employment of many of the tools support only 8-bit per channel (24-bit
overall) files and will only work after you convert the 16-bit file to an
8-bit file.  I am sure the reason that it takes longer to do  many of the
operations in high bit workflows within Photoshop is because the techniques
that were suggested are essentially work-around solutions to the problem
allowing for one to carry out factsimile operations somewhat similar to
those that are straight forward operation in a PHotoshop low bit workflow.

one that can do everything in 16bit, not just some operations.
