Is this PR OK? I put a bit of work into it. I've never really programmed in real-mode x86 except briefly at uni, so there was a learning curve. I think it’s a pretty good DOS pattern. It does more than just show data. It allows you you jump around the file structure and handles edge cases like EXEs that use the 20-bit address wrap around to get the PSP into the code segment. This took a lot of research, head scratching and testing. |

Pattern for DOS EXE files
This PR adds a DOS EXE file pattern. It attempts to provide "links" so you can jump around the file. For example jump to the code that an entry in the relocation table referrs to.
Initially this is to get feedback.
