The system is completely functional and can generate and run both a.out and elf executables (share= d and dynamic) at the drop of a hat. All that is really missing is a 3 stage boot so that we can squeeze in co= de for loading the elf symbol table on an elf kernel. Presently the BAD144 support has to go to make room, since there are *zero* bytes free at the = moment. I've been using both elf and a.out kernels over the last year, = a.out kernels are needed for ddb's symbol functions at present.
