I'm not going to say it's impossible -- but why would > you want it? More useful would be a dynamic linker which understood both a.out and ELF shared libraries. With the right linker, one could then link an ELF program with an a.out shared library (which you might not have source for, e.g. Motif). I can't see that this would be too hard given that both a.out and ELF use compatible PIC implementations. Hang on a minute. Are the PIC implementations compatible? If not, why not and can we fix it? -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd. Mail: dfr@render.com Phone: +44 171 251 4411 FAX: +44 171 251 0939
