The DLLs used by Windows, OS/2 1.x and the DOS extender in Borland Pascal 
are just the same format as the segmented .EXE files used by all of those.  
(OS/2 is according to the Borland Pascal manual; I haven't tried it.  I 
assume from the fact that it says 1.x that 2.0 has a new format.)

There's a sketch of this format in Ralf Brown's interrupt list; I think it 
shows up near the EXEC call.
