The stub.exe file is a part of the DJPP project, which a program that enables coff2exe to connect to the COFF executable file, and developed by DJ Delorie, who is an American programmer. DJPP project is a 32-but/C++/Ada/Fortan/ObjC development utility suite made exclusively for computers with DOS and other operating system versions that run dos.exes, which include the Microsoft Windows OS. As of these days, the project is a successful and effective free port of the GNU C/C++ compiler and tools suite. Once the program is execute, the main component, which is the stub.exe file, calls go32.exe and passes all required data to run the COFF executable file that is attached to it. This file automatically implements itself once a user opens any file that is compiled within the DJPP project. It suggests that the stub.exe file is a non user-initialized program, or is launched by another application found in the computer system. While the stub.exe file is smaller than the file size of go32.exe, this process does not require big disk storage.
