'''TXT2EXE.COM''' is a utility that converts a text file to a [[MS-DOS EXE|DOS EXE]] file that, when executed, displays the text in a pager. It was developed by John De Palma.

It seems likely that there were just two versions: 1.1 and 2.2.

Note that the file named "TXT2EXE.COM" is an [[MS-DOS EXE|EXE]] file, not a [[DOS executable (.com)|COM]] file.

== Identification ==
Generated files for a given version start with the bytes in the included TXT2EXE.COM file. Note that TXT2EXE.COM is compressed with [[LZEXE]].
