Date: Sun, 20 Apr 1997 16:30:47 -0700 Organization: SRVNet Lines: 6 Message-ID: <cmott-2004971630470001@192.168.0.5> NNTP-Posting-Host: ras597.srv.net Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:39422 There was a big commotion about a year ago in the LInux world about switching from the a.out executable format to ELF (I don't actually know what the difference between these two formats is).
