Are you sure that a .com executable can be renamed as .exe and still work on Windows?

Unfortunately Windows might not be that smart.

I really like the tiny ELF executable running on any unix, very neat and not scary.

Having the same style of release for macOS and Win32 would be perfect.

Yes I'm sure. On Windows .com and .exe are the same thing. If you want just a Windows binary without any APE, you can use -DSUPPORT_VECTOR=4 and just change the .com extension to .exe. If you want just a MacOS binary, then use -DSUPPORT_VECTOR=8 and then run the assimilate.com program with the -m flag to convert it to Mach-O.

It seems that it should work: https://web.archive.org/web/20180223071736/https://blogs.msd...
