EXE
(redirected from DOS executable)EXE
/eks'ee/ or /eek'see/ or /E-X-E/ An executable binary file.
Some operating systems (notably MS-DOS, VMS, and TWENEX) use
the extension .EXE to mark such files. This usage is also
occasionally found among Unix programmers even though Unix
executables don't have any required suffix.
