Hi
I am making an OS, and I wanted to make some applications, with the .com suffix. I have tried converting .exe files made in both C++ and QuickBasic.
I can understand why the C++ one doesn't work as this is compiled for 32 bit and only runs in a dos prompt under windows, but the QBasic .exe runs in dos.
EXE2COM always says "EXE has stack segment"

How can I make .com files??

Thanx

QBasic's output can make com,I think.
Just build the exe file in "tiny mode",then you can convert it to .com file use exe2com without the message of "EXE has stack segment".have a try

why do you want dos executables if your writing your own OS? It sounds like you're writing a dos shell to me. But i was also woundering if Microsofts C++ (cl) and compile DOS apps.
