'''ExeToCom''' is a (probably obscure) DOS utility that converts an [[MS-DOS EXE|EXE]] file to a [[DOS executable (.com)|COM]] file that works the same. The developer is unknown.

== Discussion ==
The program file is named EXETOCOM.COM, and is 4417 bytes in size. When run without arguments, it prints the following:

 ExeToCom file converter
 Usage :  exetocom exename[.exe] [comname[.com]&#x5d;

== Format details ==
A complete copy of the original EXE file appears in the generated file, at offset 16.

A generated file starts with byte <code>0xe9</code>, and has ASCII "{{magic|___Converted}}" at offset 3. Boilerplate bytes appear at offset 3+{the 2-byte integer at offset 1}, and start with {{magic|e8 00 00 5b 50 8c c0 05}}.
