(Probably screwed up the posting...) Sun is changing their version of Unix from BSD 4.2 derived to Sys V derived. Among other things, they are converting from a.out to COFF format binaries. I suspect this means that all Gnu tools that deal with object code (especially GDB) will stop working. Am I right? Is this a problem? Dale drw@math.mit.edu
