The problem with the versions you're looking at is that they're in a different machine code (8086 16-bit mode, as opposed to 80386 32-bit mode). FreeBSD doesn't support 16 bit programs. Things might be different for x.out 32-bit programs, but I don't even know of a converter there. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
