Exe2bin Will Not Support exe Files Created with dosseg

MS-DOS | OS/2

Summary:

When creating a com file, the exe2bin utility will not accept an

executable file if the file was created using the dosseg directive

in MASM.

This behavior occurs because the dosseg directive places 16 bytes at

the beginning of the executable to ensure proper byte alignment. This

format is not acceptable to exe2bin. To work around this problem, do

not use the dosseg directive when creating an executable to be

converted into com format.
