This is the documentation that I was looking for.

The term "dynamically linked binaries" suggests dynamically linked shared libraries. It might be better to say "shared libraries". It's probably also a good idea to mention that the emulator looks for them in /compat/ibcs2 before looking in /. > .Pp > You can't really use this without reading the source code. Greg
