Is it 3.5? If by support you mean the ability to execute a.out binaries, 5.2 runs old a.out binaries just fine if you've installed the compat22 and/or compat3x packages. I think 4.0 was the last release to support building a.out libs, and you had to work to get it to do that. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
