- Not to be confused with Asc2Com.
ASCOM is a DOS utility that converts a text file to a COM file that, when executed, displays the text in a viewer. It was developed by Kevin Tseng.
See also XDOC, a similar utility by the same author.
The original document can be recovered by running the COM file in a DOS environment, and pressing "W" to "write" to a file.
The original document can be printed by running the COM file in a DOS environment, and pressing "W", then typing "PRN".
Format details
Except in early versions, the embedded text is obfuscated. For v1.0f at least, each byte is XORed with 0x01.
Identification
(TODO)
Software
- ASCOM v1.0f (The main program, ASCOM.COM is converted using some sort of new com2txt version)
