This may sound like a stupid question, but what is the difference(s)
between .com and .exe files?   All I know is that when I write a 
turbo pascal program, it is a .com file, and when writing in Lattice
C it comes out to an .exe file.

Could someone please explain to me the difference (and advantages/disad)
of these two types of files?
	Thanx,
