 +====== New Executable file format ======
 +
 +New Executable (NE) file format used by set of operating system including OS/2, Windows, Multitasking MS-DOS 4 and set of DOS Extenders. It is designed to be store on disk and in-memory usage. In-disk format is same for all OSes, but In-memory usage is mostly specific for Windows systems.
