   One change that may be appropriate for MZ is for the   
   start identifier to be of type "int" rather than a character   
   string, and to have two of them.   
      
   So if the identifier is x'1234' then on a 32-bit big-endian   
   system you would see:   
      
   00 00 12 34 00 00 12 34   
      
   That way you can tell that it is 32 bits instead of e.g. 1024 bits.   
      
   If it was little-endian you can't tell where the integer stops   
   unless you have a second one.   
      
   So the loader would first compare two "int" and then say   
   "wrong size int" if an executable for one system was used   
   on another.
