If you guys can send me a message >describing what you need, exactly, well, let's see what he can do, OK? BTW: -current's Linux emulator now does QMAGIC just fine, as well as ZMAGIC. QMAGIC is ***much*** preferred, as it allows proper shared libraries. If you use ZMAGIC libraries, you do not share any code between processes and each copy of the program has a seperate copy in memory. Needless to say, you run out of memory very quickly with ZMAGIC. I use the a.out libraries from the slackware 3.0 distribution. I dont know if there are newer versions out now. -Peter >> >> Regards, >> Marc. >> >> ---------------------------------------------------- >> Marc van Kempen BowTie Technology >> Email: marc@bowtie.nl WWW & Databases >> tel. +31 40 2 43 20 65 >> fax. +31 40 2 44 21 86 http://www.bowtie.nl >> ---------------------------------------------------- >> >> >> >----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- >Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data >chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. >9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | >Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD >(301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! >----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
