   You are talking about the file extension, where I'm talking about its style   
   (in other words: its internal makeup)  Two quite different things.   
      
   Do you (still) get confused by seeing program with the .EXE extension, but   
   being a COM style one internally (or vise-verse) ?   
      
   And for the record, how would *you* have defined an ".exe style" program in   
   a non-ambigous way ?   And no, referring to MZ (or ZM) file-ID is not   
   allowed, as *any* file could start with that.   
      
   And please do remind yourself that you cannot refer to the extension either,   
   as thats only relevant to the commandline (INT 21h, AH=4Bh could not care   
   less about it).   
      
   .. and in less than 10 words. :-)   
      
   Good luck. :-)
