Again, it's far too easy to say which binary formats we'll be supporting and I find such speculation at this time to be just a tad premature. Given the ever-changing nature of this biz and the rather unspecific nature of the date which we know the Applixware "port" will be completed by, we may very well decide to do both a.out and ELF versions by then, or perhaps a static as well as dynamic a.out version which just works everywhere and doesn't require *any* external libs. Not having had the chance to measure the differences in performance characteristics between the various options, we don't even know what constitutes our full range of practical alternatives and debating it now only risks a lot of energy being expended over issues which may become moot or redundant by the time we ship. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
