Question:

When I run EXEMOD on my executable file and look at the minimum load
size, it always is greater than or equal to the size of my executable
listed in my MAP file. Why?

Response:

EXEMOD reflects the minimum load size of a program that is rounded up
to the 16-byte paragraph level. As a result, the minimum load size
will be up to 15-bytes larger than the size of the program indicated
in your MAP file.
