DOC2COM (Gerald DePyper)
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
DOC2COM is a DOS utility for creating a COM file that, when executed, displays a text document in a full-screen viewer. It was developed by Gerald (Jerry) DePyper.
When viewing a document, press F1 for help. Sometimes there is a function (Alt-F) to write the text to a file, but it depends on the DOC2COM version, and the options used when creating the file.
