yep, I can send you such a program too :))

Hmmm, I even believe, that there a M$ options, that says

  exec(PE_File, Flag_Execute_Old-MSDOS_Stub)

avoiding to dump temp files to disk (cd-rom :))

If this doesn't exist, simply nop the PE#0#0 sign, reexecute it and
restore the PE flag :))

I haven't the time to do the programming therefore I am looking for an
existing tool. Today I found Linker 1.5 from Blade that does this with
two PEs... adding a 38 KB loader :(((
