Hello all

Perhaps the simplest and most general way to detect an executable file in Windows is the "MZ" (0x4d, 0x5a) magic number in the first two bytes.

Now there are more complex formats but all of them have an MZ in the beginning.

I think the IsExecutable() in windows would work like this:

1. Check file extension (.exe, .scr, .com, ...�?)
2. Check MZ signature

Best regards
Iñaki
