Thread: compiling... plese help

Hi i am using the Dev c++ Ide and standard compiler which came with it. my question is can i create a .com file instead of a .exe file

thanks

c newbie

A .com has everthing in one segment (data, code, etc) and must be < 64k and uses 16bit addressing. Atleast back in good 'ole DOS days.

You might be able to get your compiler to do it with the right options to it and the underlying assembler. Otherwise, you'll have to use straight-up assembly and an assembler to get a .com executable.
