The subject says almost all. I am trying to do a binary port of some SW which  
runs on SUNs, in particular a SUN3/60. I have successfully experimented with  
NeXT's `atom' binary conversion in the past. However, with this program I am  
stuck because the program wants /usr/lib/ld.so which does not exist (?) on the  
NeXT OS.

Any ideas how to find a replacement, if any, that could be used via symbolic  
link as a fake /usr/lib/ld.so .

Thanks a lot!

BTW don't flame me how stupid it is to use binaries rather then source etc. It  
is not my choice!

You are out of luck. Only statically linked programs can be atom-ed.
Ld.so is a table of the shared libraries under SunOS.
