I must apologize for the delay on this. I've actually had it done and available for quite awhile now but I just realized that I had forgotten to announce it on the newsgroup. I have made available an ELF binary of Acedb 4.1 for those of you who run ELF only systems. The a.out binary is and will continue to be available. The archive is available from: ftp://trog.mbb.sfu.ca/pub/acedb/bin.linux.4_1.elf.tar.gz What follows is the Readme file for the port. Jeff jbryer@darwin.mbb.sfu.ca ------- README.LINUX.4_1_ELF October 12, 1995 This is the ELF binary version of ACEDB v4.1 for Linux and can be found at ftp://trog.mbb.sfu.ca/pub/acedb/bin.linux.4_1.elf.tar.Z If your Linux system cannot handle the ELF format, an a.out version is also available. ftp://trob.mbb.sfu.ca/pub/acedb/bin.linux.4_1.tar.Z ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/repository/acedb/ace4/bin.linux.4_1.tar.Z Linux is a free Unix-like OS available for the Intel [345]86 platform. You can find out more about Linux in the comp.os.linux.* groups on usenet. Acedb runs very well on Linux, but you will need a fairly loaded system. I reccomend at _least_ 16MB of RAM and a 486/33. You will also want a large disk that can accomodate the database's growth. More RAM is much better than a faster processor. A 486/66 with 32MB RAM will blow the doors off a Pentium/100 with 8M. You should have 32MB of swap for updates. You should be running Linux 1.0 or better and either the a.out shared libraries (I am using libc 4.5.26) or the ELF libraries (I am using libc 5.0.9). Other versions should work, but are untested.
