Ady's GLUE (also written Ady's Glue) is a DOS utility that combines two EXE files into a single EXE file that, when executed, has the effect of executing the original files sequentially.

Discussion

No documentation has been found. Ady's GLUE is mentioned a few times in the documentation of Ady's X-OPEN. It mentions the version range 0.10-1.01. It says there was a registered version, vaguely implying that there was also an unregistered version.

Identification

The generated files have no readable signatures. Files made by a given version of Ady's GLUE could probably be identified using the bytes following the entry point (refer to MS-DOS EXE#Special file positions), but most versions aren't available for analysis.

Software

The only version of Ady's GLUE that has been found is a hacked copy of v1.10.
