|
.Nm Elf2exe
|
|

|
|
|
as found on systems designed for
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn Windows/NT .
|
|
|
|
|
The input file must have been
|
|
|
|
|
created as a non-relocatable standalone binary with a load address within
|
|
|
|
|
the memory range available for user programs (0x80000000 to 0x806fdfff
|
|
|
|
|
and 0x80900000 to at least 0x80ffffff).
|

|
|
.Nm Elf2exe
|
