It was developed by Uwe Schlenther Software-Design. The utility and its documentation are in German.<br /> <br /> == Discussion ==<br /> Two versions have been identified.<br /> <br /> The &quot;old&quot; version has a 633-byte TXT2COM.COM file. It generates very simple executable files, with significant restrictions.<br /> <br /> The &quot;new&quot; version has a 671-byte TXT2COM.COM file. Its generated files have a pager, and fewer restrictions than the old version.<br /> <br /> == Identification ==<br /> Old format files start with bytes {{magic|ba 0d 01 b4 09 cd 21 32 c0 b4 4c cd 21}}, and end with {{magic|0x24}}. This is basically the minimal COM program that prints a string, so it might not be unique to TXT2COM.<br /> <br /> New format: The first 51 bytes of a file are probably always the same. The first 16 are {{magic|bf 33 01 32 db 2e 8a 15 0a d2 74 21 b4 06 cd 21}}.<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> * Old: [https://archive.org/details/pegasus20 Pegasus 2.0] → pegasus/util-fo/freeutil.zip → TXT2COM.*<br /> * New: [https://archive.org/details/coco_share2 Coco's Super Shareware Box - II] → coco_share2/DOS/DUTILS/B1470.ZIP</div>
