Is there any way to debug .COM files with OllyDbg?

Question

Is there any way to debug a .COM executable with OllyDbg? It seems to only accept EXEs.

Answer 1

COM files are 16bit DOS programs, and don't run natively under windows (they run through an MS-DOS subsystem, see wikipedia), as such ollydbg can neither attach to it nor debug it (as its a 32bit windows debugger).
