Talk:DOS executable (.com)

compressed executable vs commandline program

Thanks for fixing the initial page. My source, a paper about the file utility mentioned .com files being compressed executables. Guess I should cite more... Maurice.de.rooij (talk) 07:28, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Ah, yes, that seems a bit wrong (unless they talk about some other, specific COM file). I wanted to add COM some time ago anyway (when I did EXE), but it somehow got lost due to my being busy recently. I just happened to notice it in the "recent changes" and fixed it. On some unrelated note, why can't we delete (or move/rename) any pages? There are a few now that are blanked because they were moved. Is delete/move only for administrators? --Darkstar (talk) 17:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
