Thanks for your help, that seems to be the stub that my programs were
compiled to use, it looks like it loads the DPMI- then finds the rest
of the program and runs it in protected mode?
I don't know assembly language for the x86 but this seems to only
tell me what I already know - the programs I am trying to run are
meant to run under a 32 bit OS, even though the sites I download
them from say they are for DOS, and I have run them under plain
DOS before (perhaps I ran older versions)

Thanks, I saw that. It only defines COFF. No hints as to what I need

DOS 6.22 run the thing.
One of the instances I where I got this was I was trying "Seal" a GUI
written by the people who also put out freeDOS
http://www.freedos.org/
And it says at the seal download site that it runs under other DOSses
Several of the programs I try to run on my "classic dos" machine give
the error message:
<filepath\filename>:not coff (check for viruses)
I don't yet have a virus scanner, but these files were downloaded
from trusted sources I don't think I have a virus. What is this error
message?
