If I may ask... did you make a program .DEF file?

Here is a .DEF example, from FWKFF.COM, which I wrote in 1999 as 
two assembly-language programs, one for DOS 16-bit, the other for 
OS/2 protected mode 32-bit:

----------------------------cut here, start FWKFF.DEF
NAME FWKFF WINDOWCOMPAT            ; stays in window when called there
;DESCRIPTION "@#Frederick W Kantor:2.04a#@ FWKFF Fast Find." ; for
BLDLEVEL.EXE STUB 'stub_ff.exe'                 ; DOS version of program
PROTMODE
EXETYPE OS2
STACKSIZE 0x2000
----------------------------cut here
