- Wondering if anyone has given any thought to this. I'd like to
- be able to grab a binary from an AT&T SVR3.X system and run it under
- Linux. At the least the header is incompatible, but if I worked up
- code to read the other header style, how much more would have to
- be done? (Would the VM code be able to page it in?)
- I know that many system calls could cause problems, but I'm
- interested in this with the assumption in mind that a few might
- have to do special argument processing.
