I don't think you can make com's with QB. But, other compilers can, like MoonRock and BASM and Tokiwa can all produce both exe's and com's.

Try maing an .exe file, then change the extension to .com
Since both .exe and .com represent applications, it should work.

Yes that will work, but it won't actually be a .com program. I don't know the specific differences, but there are major ones between .exe and .com programs. One is progra size - .coms have a very limited program size in comparison to exes. I think it's 64KB so that they fit into one memory segment.

Thanks for the cool info.

BTW It doesn't matter if it's a real com file.

Why do you even need a COM? Are you looking into writing a compiler?
