Greetings,

Has anyone had success with CODEC?  When I try to run it, I get:

# ./READ321.EXE
zsh: bad address: ../READ321.EXE
# ldd ./READ321.EXE
./READ321.EXE:
./READ321.EXE: Bad address
./READ321.EXE: exit status 1

This is for a FreeBSD 2.0 executable on FreeBSD 2.0.5 (beta I beleive) 
with the 2.0 compatdist installed.  Same thing happens for NetBSD 
executables.

CODEC is a compression utility.  An announcment for it appeared on one of 
the lists a few weeks ago.  It's available at:

http://vm.cineca.it:1290/telvox_swshop/seefbsd/

and is only released in binary form.
