A .com is a binary image file. It is loaded into memory exactly as it appears 
on disk, and there is no program header to do any reallocation of memory. A 
.exe is not; segment relocation is necessary (eg. set up the stack segment) 
so there must be a header, and that is where memory reallocation is done.
