After grabbing this, all I see are *.a files, which I believe are neither ELF or aout. I don't see any shared libraries (*.so). I know for certain that shared libraries are aout and ELF specific, but I don't think *.a files are. For everyone else, the above file seems to contain a snapshot of the client libs for FreeBSD taken from an Oracle 7.3.2 system. No FreeBSD version of SQL*Plus though. Lots of messages files and *.sql files which are useless without the server binaries though. The log subdirectory contains a log file. Presumably the log file of the server this snapshot was made from! > /fjoe Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
