Asc2Com is a DOS utility that converts a text document to a COM file that, when executed, displays the text in a viewer. It was developed by MorganSoft. It supports a number of different viewing styles and options.

The software was originally in the form of a command-line utility named Asc2Com. Later versions include both a menu-driven utility named Asc2Com, and a command-line utility named A2C.

Depending on the version, and the options used when generating the COM file, it may have a feature (Alt-F or Alt-W) to write the text to a disk file. Run the file, and try pressing F1 for help.

Identification

More research needed. Generated files usually contain one of the following ASCII strings somewhere in them:

  • "Com File  Generated by ASC2COM"
  • "Com File generated by ASC2COM"
  • "File made by ASC2COM"
