LX introduction
IBM OS/2 32 bit %BLinear eXecutable%b Module Format (LX) from Boca
Programming Center. Boca Raton, Florida.
Document is intended to describe the interface that is used by
language translators and generators as their intermediate output to
the linker for the 32-bit OS/2 operating system. The linker will
generate the executable module that is used by the loader to invoke
the .EXE and .DLL programs at execution time.
IBM and Microsoft** introduced OS/2 in 1987 as a successor to the
PC DOS/MS DOS** operating system [For simplicity, the term "DOS" will
be used throughout this document to refer to both the PC DOS and MS
DOS products.] in the programmable workstation environment. In the
years since its inception in the early 1980s, DOS has grown in both
capabilities and sophistication, but by 1987 advanced workstation
users were demanding more sophistication from their applications, to
an extent which was beyond the capabilities of DOS to deliver.
The choice for operating system developers lay between further
enhancing the existing DOS architecture to support more powerful
processors, larger memory and so on, or migrating to a new, more
powerful operating system architecture which offered more facilities
to satisfy user requirements, a broader platform for application
development, and potential for future expansion. The latter choice
was taken, and the result was OS/2.
