I want to make 32bit MZ exe

As i understood the manual i have to write

Code:

format mz
entry main:START
segment main use32
START:

When i execute prog it doesn't work.
When i load it in 32bit debuger, debuger shows that it's not 32bit exe.
Loading in 16bit debuger shows wrong code (as it should be)

But why win thinks it's not a 32bit exe?

sorry for english

If I remember well there is no 32-bit MZ executable BUT, you can switch to 32-bit protected mode.

Check kelvar engine written by Tomasz, it's a MZ exe that make use of the unreal mode which is another way to work with 32-bit code.

You can use WDOSX to run the 32-bit MZ executables made like that. But for DOS itself the MZ is always 16-bit program.
