clean dos extender executable format (Developers)

note the standardS.

even when Microsoft was involved, you were absolutely able to set your own 'standard'.

I'm not 100% sure, but there never was any 'standard' in DOS extender executable format beyond "the MZ portion of it will be executed and takes care to execute the 32-bit part". so there was neither a standard nor a standard needed.

just implement a working toolchain of compiler, linker, whatever, and have people use your toolchain.

there are multiple implementations of this available with source code.

why do you refuse to learn 'things to be learned' from others, indicating you have no clue at all about dos extenders in general or specifically?
