How was ASIMUT.EXE generated?  Is it the output of a command like this:

	gcc .... -o ASIMUT.EXE ...

If so, just rename it to ASIMUT (without any extension).  Then you should 
be able to either run it with go32:

	go32 ASIMUT

or run COFF2EXE on it (which will create ASIMUT.EXE) and run ASIMUT.EXE 
as any other DOS program:

	coff2exe ASIMUT
	ASIMUT

If the above doesn't work, please post the GCC command line that you used
to build your program.
