NE (New Executable) is an executable file format used by 16-bit Microsoft Windows, and by some versions of OS/2 and MS-DOS. It is an extension/hybrid of MS-DOS EXE (see also EXE).

Despite the name, not all NE files are executable. Examples of non-executable NE formats are FON and Icon library.

NE was succeeded by PE (on Windows) and Linear Executable (on OS/2).

Identification

An NE file begins with the ASCII signature "MZ". At offset 60 is a 4-byte integer pointing to an "extended" header that begins with "NE". For more information, see MS-DOS EXE.
