KD>   EXEs are a bit harder. Information can be appended to the
KD>   end of an EXE file. Working out how to find the end of an
KD>   EXE requires fiddling with the EXE header.
   This program finds the size of DOS .EXE files.
   NOTE: if there is debug info, it is ignored, and only the
      size of the actual .EXE file, to which the debug info
      has been appended, is given.
