Paul,
This is just a guess .. but sometimes files moved from certain RBBSs
and RCPMs have their .COM file names changed to .OBJ (to keep bozos
from running programs on the RCPM host).
If you use DDT and look at the .OBJ files, you may find they kinda look
like real .COM files (you know, saving stack pointer at the beginning,
likely looking assembler instructions, etc.). Then you might just take
a chance on renaming one to .COM and running it (with all valuable floppies
out of the system and watching for any hard disk access like a hawk, just
in case it's an Arf Arf).
