I've been searching the net for quite some time now, and surprisingly, I haven't been able to find any documentation on the COM file format! oO Assuming since this file format has been around for many decades, it would be easy to find documentation on, but I guess not. Google was also not my friend. Any links? Thanks.

Dosbox could have a doc on that. Didnt look though.

COM files are raw memory images loaded directly into RAM.

The Old New Thing : What's the difference between the COM and EXE extensions?

Ahh, I feel stupid! Thanks. I just couldn't sleep tonight without knowing that first for some reason :???:

Either you have to check on Dosbox or try it with FreeDOS. I'm sure about freedos way for this. Check if the document available on dosbox.
