/*
exe2com - exe2bin replacement by Chris Dunford/Cove Software
usage: exe2com [/I] infile [outfile]
usage is the same as exe2bin except:
1. Output defaults to COM rather than BIN
2. Binary fixup option not supported
3. Checksum not verified
4. Provides more useful error messages and a warning if a
COM file is being created with initial IP != 0x100
5. /I switch provides EXE file info instead of converting
Compiler notes:
This source was written for Microsoft C version 5.0. It
should be reasonably portable. Watch out for fseek();
what it returns seems to vary widely between compilers.
To compile with MSC, use:
cl exe2com.c (no switches necessary)
We have checked that the source (as of version 1.04) compiles
without error under Turbo C 1.5. It appears to operate correctly,
but we ran only some quick tests; there may be subtle errors here.
The original version of this program was knocked together in about
an hour in response to the removal of EXE2BIN from the standard DOS
distribution disks. Improvements/corrections are encouraged, but
please try to coordinate public releases through me.
Program donated to the public domain by the author.

Version history
---------------
Version 1.04 03/02/88 (CJD)
Cleaned up some ugly code from the original quickie. Added
/I (info) switch. In previous versions, we defined an
error code for nonzero CS but didn't actually check it; now
we do. Source will now compile under either Microsoft C or
Turbo C.
Version 1.03 12/30/87 (CJD)
C86 version converted to Microsoft C (5.0) by Chris
Dunford. Increased size of I/O buffer to 4K to improve
speed; EXE2COM 1.03 is twice as fast as 1.02 and is now
slightly faster than EXE2BIN. The C86 version will no
longer be distributed.
Version 1.02 11/22/87
by Chris Blum (CompuServe 76625,1041)
Fix for even 512-byte boundary file losing last 512 bytes.
Also corrected signon per request of Chris Dunford (his name
was lost in the translation to Turbo C). Version 1.02
existed in both Turbo C and C86 versions, although only
the C86 executable was "officially" distributed.
Version 1.01 was a Turbo C conversion.
Version 1.00 04/17/87
Original C86 version by Chris Dunford
