 See PC Magazine 30 June 1992 (XI: 12) pages 349-350 for the old and new
 formats. For a more detailed layout, look under INT 21 AH=4B in Ralf
 Brown's interrupt list <Q:02.03> [What and where is Ralf Brown's
 interrupt list?] That list includes extensions for Borland's TLINK and
 Borland debugger info.

 Among the books that detail formats of executable files are {DOS
 Programmer's Reference: 2d Edition} by Terry Dettman and Jim Kyle, ISBN
 0-88022-458-4; and {Microsoft MS-DOS Programmer's Reference}, ISBN
 1-55615-329-5.

Another solution is to use a parallel port loopback plug. It makes the PC think there is a printer attached. The benefit of this is it doesn't require anticipating the problem with ANSI.SYS escape sequences nor does it make you wait half an hour for the "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" prompt, as some versions of DOS do.
