DPMI code from .COM file? (Developers)

FASM used to be .COM! And it was never real mode. But that was many versions ago, e.g. FASM 1.40 (UPX'd) from 2002.

Since .COM is easiest to reproduce (usually no linker needed, no header), for laughs I made a thread called bootstrapping FASM? two years ago. Technically, I didn't fully do it, only used old 1.40's .COM to build 1.64 then that to build 1.72. But that was my point, start from simple and go more complex. (I know that's not quite what you wanted, but just FYI.)
