The NE, abbreviation for New Executable, is a 16-bit[1] executable file format that was introduced in Windows 3.1 [2], and was also used at a later[dubious ] time in OS/2 and 16-bit Windows. While it was "new" at the time of invention, it is now rare and obsolete, though its usage can still be found by a few select programs.[3] It is backwards compatible with the older DOS MZ format.[1]
The EXEFMT.EXE "Executable-File Header Format" (Item ID S12688) is a PKware compressed file that contains the NE file format[4].
A NE is also called a segmented executable. Due to the rare and fairly complex nature of these files, only a few .EXE packers support it: WinLite, PackWin, and PKLite 2.01 or NeLite for OS/2.
