- For another utility named "DOC2COM", see DOC2COM (Gerald DePyper).
DOC2COM is a DOS utility that converts a text file to a COM file that, when executed, displays the text in a viewer. It was developed by Dan K. Nelson.
This article is based on v1.0, the only version confirmed to exist.

Editors' notes
A newer version of DOC2COM may have existed. A few files have been found that might have been made by it. For example:
- The Wildcat Files 2 → SCRFILE/NEWYRSCR.ZIP → README.COM
- The Wildcat Files 2 → DOORGAME/IS20.ZIP → INFO.COM
They have the following string of ASCII text at offset 18 (among other similarities):
"<Press Home PgDn PgUp Down Arrow End Q=Print>"
