   Hi,   
      
      A *.COM file is a single segment containing all code,   
   data, and stack.  This is the TINY memory model.  The   
   SMALL model allows for separate code and data segments.   
   Therefore making a *.COM file would require non-standard   
   processing to eliminate, or combine,  the separate code,   
   data, and stack segments.   
      
   Regards,
