Subject: .Com files

Is it possible to create com files with djgpp?
=20
I do not think so - a .com file by definition is limited to 64k code =
& data - that means that it must work in real mode (I think!). DJGPP is =
by definition a protected mode compiler so it can logically NOT output =
.COM files. You'll have noticed also that the most basic DJGPP .EXE is =
almost always larger than 64k.

Why do you want to do this?
