New Executable (NE) is an file format used by some versions of OS/2, MS-DOS and most commonly by 16-bit Microsoft Windows; it is used for executables, dynamically-linked libraries, drivers and as a container for resources. The NE format is an extension of MZ; it was succeeded by Portable Executable on Windows and Linear Executable on OS/2.
NE is used as a container format for FNT fonts (extension .fon; see FON) and for icon libraries (extension .icl).
