Description
I've a 16 bit NE(New Executable) binary but seems like BN does not support parsing headers of it. Support for doing so would be useful.
As far as I know, there is no useful tool exists than can decompile 16 bit binaries. The best output I can get is in IDA Pro, but it does not supports decompiling. BN supports decompiling it, but it need some improvement I guess.
File:
binary.zip

Research direction
Start by examining the supplied binary.zip and the issue's 16-bit NE header, import, and export requirements. Trace how Binary Ninja currently identifies and parses the sample, then compare the observed NE structures with the supported behavior. Done means the sample's headers, imports, and exports are parsed and the resulting binary can be decompiled as described.
