EXETYPE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
Identify the target operating system
Syntax 16:
EXETYPE WINDOWS [major[.minor]] | OS2 | DOS
Example 16:
EXETYPE WINDOWS 3.1
Syntax 32:
EXETYPE NT [SUBSYSTEM subsystem [n[.n]]]
Example 32:
EXETYPE NT SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS 4.0
This command specifies the operating system under which the program is to be
run. The default EXETYPE is a DOS extended program, so this command must be
included for all Windows programs.
When creating Windows programs, the version of Windows is important to
ensure that the program will be able to run. The default version number is
3.1 if one is not specified.
For 32 bit Windows programs subsystem can be one of the following:
CONSOLE, which indicates that the program is a Win32 character mode
application.
NATIVE, which indicates that the program is a device driver for Windows NT.
PHARLAP, which indicates the program is to run using the PharLap 32 bit
extender (TNT).
POSIX, which indicates that the program is to run under the POSIX subsystem
of Windows NT.
WINDOWS, which indicates that the program does not require a console because
it creates its own windows. The Win32s operating systems can only run
WINDOWS applications.
