DOS Command exe2bin
Type: External (1.1 and later)
Syntax:
EXE2BIN [d:][path]filename [d:][path]filename
Purpose: Converts files from .EXE format to binary format.
This results in files that require less disk space and may also
result in a faster loading file. (In DOS Version 6, this program is
stored on the DOS supplemental disk.)
Discussion
The first file specification you enter is to indicate the source
file. If you don`t enter a filename extension, the program assumes
an .EXE extension.
The second file specification you enter is to indicate the new file
that will be created using the .BIN format (sometimes referred to as
a memory image of the program). If you do not enter a filename,
EXE2BIN will use the same filename as the source file. If you do not
specify a filename extension, the program will assign the .BIN
extension.
The input file must be in valid .EXE format as produced by the
MS-DOS file linker. The resident, or actual code and data part of
the file, must be less than 64K bytes. There must be no STACK
segment. Two kinds of conversion are possible depending on the
specified initial CS:IP:
If CS:IP is not specified, a pure binary conversion is assumed. If
segment fixups are necessary (the source program contains
instructions that require segment relocation), the program will
display
Fixups needed - base segment (hex):
Execution may be continued by typing a legal hexadecimal number and
pressing the Enter key.
If CS:IP is specified as 100H, EXE2BIN assumes the file will run as
a .COM file with the location pointer set at 100H by the assembler
statement ORG (the first 100H bytes of the file are deleted). In
this case, no segment fixups are allowed, since .COM files must be
segment relocatable.
Example
To convert the file CHECK.EXE to binary format and rename the file
CHECK2.BIN, enter
exe2bin check.exe check2.bin
