I have a program which was linked on a SCO unix environment.   I TARed it
from SCO unix to BSD.  When I try to execute it now on BSD I get:

"exec format error.   Wrong Architecture."

Am I doing something wrong ?? how do I get around this ??

 I cannot re-link it because it is a vendor package.....  ;-)
