Fontastic is a character graphics screen editor for DOS, specializing in font-related features. It was developed by Ray Carson and RC Software.
One of the formats it can save to is its ".COM" format. It is in the form of a COM file which, when executed, prints the (ANSI Art-like) graphics to the screen.
[edit] Identification
The first 272 bytes of a COM file might always be the same. The first 16 are:
e8 6b 00 e8 59 00 e8 47 00 a1 d1 01 8e c0 bf 00
An ASCII signature starting with " Ray Carson" appears at offset 217.
The file might always be 4273 bytes in size.
