   If we had a 32:32 segmented system, to access more   
   than 4 GiB on a system with only 32-bit registers,   
   MZ is probably an appropriate executable format.   
      
   Ditto a 1024:1024 segmented system.   
      
   And I guess a.out will suffice for a non-segmented   
   system.   
      
   I'm not sure if it is desirable to have one executable   
   format that does both segmented and unsegmented.   
      
   ie would the simplest (similar to MZ and a.out) executable   
   format, that does both segmented and non-segmented,   
   be a good idea as a replacement for both MZ and a.out,   
   assuming we were having this conversation in 1950?
