Notes:  if word at offset 02h is 4, it should be treated as 00h, since pre-1.10
          versions of the MS linker set it that way
        if both minimum and maximum allocation (offset 0Ah/0Ch) are zero, the
          program is loaded as high in memory as possible (DOS only checks
          the maximum allocation, however)
        the maximum allocation is set to FFFFh by default
        additional data may be contained in the file beyond the end of the
          load image described by the .EXE header; this data may be overlays,
          the actual executable for newer-format executables, or debugging
          information (see #0887,#0911)
