Best Answer

An abbreviation: commercial organization (in internet addresses)

Answerpronouncing COM only makes little confusion because there are different phenomenal differences while correlating this word to any of one. Few of them are as :- 1).COM is domain extension for websites which are solely part of commercial activities of an organization. 2)COM is one of the abbrevation for serial port defined in a computer system. 3).COM is an extension for a file in dos for executable file that has its memory bound in 65KB and have DATA segment and CODE segment compact within 65 KB. 4)COM is a Microsoft standard for inter application communicating objects that provide a inteface and open operating mechanism like .dll and ActiveX controls.

For any of these definitions one feels unconfident or wanna got more knowledge then please write me. Rupesh K Joshi rupesh_joshi@sify.com rupesh.joshi@gmail.com

Answer--In many computer operating systems, a COM file is a type of executable file; the name is derived from the file name extension .COM. Originally, the term stood for "Command file", a text file containing commands to be issued to the operating system (similar to a DOS batch file), on many of the Digital Equipment Corporation mini and mainframe operating systems going back to the 1970s.

With the introduction of microcomputers, the type of files commonly associated with the extension .com changed; in 8-bit CP/M, and later in MS-DOS and compatible DOSes, they are binary executable files by convention. However, executables in the COM file format do not have to have the file name extension .COM in any but CP/M and very early versions of MS-DOS.

The .COM file name extension has no relation to the .com (for "commercial") top-level internet domain name. However, this similarity in name has been exploited by malicious computer virus writers.

ANSWER: THAT IS COM for command from D.O.S. WHICH CAN BE BATch OR EXEcutive.

you may see window and the mouse but believe me D.O.S. is still there working in the background. Bill Gates took one month to create the first D.O.S. for IBM. with 1km ram bad choice by IBM
