Line 154:
 
With the advent of the [[PE]] executable, Microsoft added items to the MZ header, as defined in WinNT.h
 
(Actually, that's incorrect – this extension was originally added in the New Executable format, which was first released as part of Windows 1.0 in 1985, and the multitasking MS-DOS 4.0 in 1986. The "PE header start" is called "e_lfanew" in Microsoft's headers, since it was originally the pointer to the NE header, although later was also used for LE, LX and PE; in principle it can be used for *any* executable format which is defined as an extension of MZ.)
