XDOC is a DOS utility that converts a text file to an EXE file that, when executed, displays the text in a full-screen viewer. It was developed by JauMing Tseng (or "Kevin Tseng" for v1.10 -- presumably the same person).
The original document can be recovered by running the EXE file in a DOS environment, and pressing "P" to "print" to a file.
See also ASCOM, a similar utility by the same author.
