c2t is collection of two DOS utilities, c2t1 and c2t2, developed by Jørgen Ibsen (a.k.a. Jibz). Each converts a COM file to one whose bytes all belong to certain set of ASCII characters, and which still (hopefully) has the same functionality. c2t1 has a smaller decoder, while c2t2 usually produces smaller files.
See com2txt#Disambiguation for some similar utilities.
Identification
c2t1-encoded files always start with the same 58 bytes, which can be found in the source code. The first 16 are ASCII "X502503P_5:S)E8,".
c2t2-encoded files always start with the same 112 bytes, which can be found in the source code. The first 16 are ASCII "X502503P_5:P)En-".
