EXECOM 1.1 Copyright (c) 1988 Thomas G. Hanlin III
The EXECOM utility is copyrighted, and may not be distributed in modified
form or without the original documentation and files. Subject to those
limitations, it may be freely distributed. No fee may be charged for such
duplication, aside from a disk copying fee (if applicable) of not more than
$10.00. EXECOM may also be modified by you, for your own use only.
The EXECOM utility is a replacement for the EXE2BIN program that used to be
distributed with DOS.
EXECOM is less powerful than EXE2BIN in that it does not support segment
fixups. Most people will never notice this difference.
EXECOM is different than EXE2BIN in that it produces .COM files instead of
.BIN files by default, and in that it deletes the original .EXE file if
successful, so you don't run the wrong program by mistake.
EXECOM is better than EXE2BIN because: it's smaller, it's faster (especially
for larger files), it comes with source code, and... it's free.
Acknowledgements: EXECOM was based, in a large part, on Chris Dunford's
EXE2COM utility, which was written in C.
