They were .exe internally.
- WalterBright 4y agoI'm not sure when it started, but the .com and .exe extensions were ignored, and the loader looked at the first two bytes to see if it was "MZ" and was an exe file.
- sumtechguy 4y agoI like that every windows exe/dll still have the MZ on the front. Also a working DOS program there in the first hundred bytes which is pretty much a program to say 'hey run this in windows'. As the real windows header is 100 bytes in.
