This is not correct.  You must be doing something wrong in generating
your EXE's such that they cannot run without being converted to COM files.
Here is a simple EXE that will run by itself, or can be converted to a
COM file and then run.  Of course, this is not limited to *simple* EXE's,
during debug I have run EXE's almost as large as 64k that could also be
converted to COM files.

begin 664 hello.exe
