   Thats not going to work I'm afraid, as you are simply repeating yourself.   
      
   You know what I see ?   
      
   Someone who made a mistake in making a statement about an end of program   
   return to address 0000 and thus exit the program - mind you, you had no   
   problem with COM or EXE ambiguity there - which does not work for an EXE   
   style - pardon me, *MZ* style programs, and trying to cover that up by   
   "grammar nazi" some other, contrived point.   
      
   And no, I do not regard an exception-to-the-rule as something that causes   
   ambiguity.  *Especially not* when that exception is the result of an   
   on-purpose altering.   
      
   > "An MZ format executable".   
      
   Teriffic, I really should remember that.   
      
   See, not *that* hard to acknowledge that you did not think of something.   
      
   But for now, goodbye.  I have no desire to play this kind of games.
