'''Laughing Dog Screen Maker COM file''' is one of the formats that Laughing Dog Screen Maker (a text mode screen editor for DOS) can save to. See [[Laughing Dog Screen Maker]] for more information about the software.

The COM file format is in the form of a [[DOS executable (.com)|DOS COM]] file which, when executed, displays its contents in a simple viewer.

== Discussion ==
To save to COM file format, start by selecting "Generate Source Code/Export" from the main menu.

== Identification ==
A COM file contains no distinctive strings. The first 28 bytes might always be the same. The first 16 are:

 06 b4 0f cd 10 3c 07 74 06 b8 00 b8 eb 04 90 b8

If the screen size is the usual 80x25, the file is exactly 4091 bytes in size.

All known software versions seem to produce identical files.
