- Could anyone tell me the difference between .com and .exe files. The
- most I've come up with is that a com file is an "executable memory image"
- but that definition was somewhat out of context, and I don't really
- understand it. I've done some assembly language programming with MASM so
- I do understand instruction sets, stacks, registers etc. Any information
- regarding this is much appreciated.
- Thanks,
- Frank
