   As far as I know, COM programs aren't restricted to 64K, but   
   there is no DOS support for more.  If they use more, the program   
   must do all the management needed.  Also, I believe that at   
   least the later versions of DOS and most Windows will load EXE   
   files with a COM extension.  That was done for FORMAT, for   
   example.
