At the bottom of a.out.5 in the BUGS section is the comment: New binary file formats may be supported in the future, and they probably will not be compatible at any level with this ancient format. As ELF is now supported, this comment is a bit out of date. I didn't submit a PR because it didn't seem that important and I didn't know what it should say anyway. :) Jamie -- Jamie Howard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
