FL2COM (derived from "Files to COM format") is a utility and toolkit that converts a text file to a DOS COM file that, when executed, displays the text in a viewer. It was developed by Charles White.

According to the documentation, it was originally named "TXT2COM" (see also the TXT2COM disambiguation page).

Discussion

FL2COM seems to be the most authoritative name, but FLCOM is also used.

Only the presumably-final version, 60M, has been found. It's unclear how many other versions there were. Version 60M's documentation mentions versions 50B and 60L, "FL2COM45", and TXT2COM 1.0/1.5.

Identification

Based on minimal information, generated files start with byte 0xe9 or 0xeb. At offset 3 is an ASCII string that starts "FL2COM".
