1. About PatchNE is used to mark a NE application as DPMI-16 or DPMI-32 client. DPMI-16 is the same application type used by Borland's 16-bit DPMI support. DPMI-32 is special for HX and will be unknown for NE file dumpers. To mark a NE application as 16-Bit client, enter patchNE appname To mark a NE application as 32-Bit client, enter patchNE -32 appname This all is required because the OMF linkers knowing how to create NE binaries most likely will not know how to set the correct application type in the NE header (5 = DPMI 16, 6 = DPMI 32).
