Nonlinked means a COFF file w/o optinoal (a.out) header? Linked with such header,
right?

Not dlls (although why not?), but executables. I've chosen COFF because DJGPP is a
free compiler that generates such files. I want to make development easy for anyone.

Don't know. ELF is not bad... But DJGPP for DOS doesn't generate ELFs, although for
Linux ELF is a normal thing (I use DOS/Win).
