That's been a lot of silence, hasn't it?

I had thought that we would now be compatible with BSD/OS ELF, so to
check it I dragged out my BSD/OS 3.0 CD-ROMs, which I thought
contained ELF binaries, but what I saw was:

/cdrom/7/bin/[:        Infocom game data (Z-machine 8, Release   0,
/cdrom/7/bin/bash:     BSD/OS i386 compact demand paged executable (uses shared libs)
/cdrom/7/bin/cat:      Infocom game data (Z-machine 8, Release   0,
/cdrom/7/bin/chmod:    Infocom game data (Z-machine 8, Release   0,

They definitely contain no ELF string.  What are these things?  Is
that what you have?
