   You do realize that a COM style program can be put in a fragment of free   
   memory that is large enough for the code+data image, but not large enough   
   for its further uninitialized data (BSS) requirements ?     That means that   
   you could load and start a COM style program, only to have it fail when it   
   tries to resize.   
      
   EXE style tiny memory models do have their perks.   
      
   And yes, I've been programing COM style programs for quite a few years now.   
   Normally I even initialize SP to 0100h.   I mean, about 00A0h bytes of stack   
   should be enough for .. well, most small-style programs. :-)
